...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight.

...Desert Southwest...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a mid- to upper-level low and
an associated trough to the west of Baja Calfornia. This
disturbance will meander slowly southeast reaching the Baja
California/Gulf of California vicinity by the end of the period.
Relatively cold mid-level temperatures (near -18 deg C at 500 mb)
and sufficient moisture will yield weak buoyancy later today across
southern AZ. Showers and a few weak thunderstorms are forecast
mainly for southeast AZ where weak ascent may yield a couple of
lightning flashes with deeper convection. Elsewhere across the
contiguous United States, quiescent conditions will prevail
precluding thunderstorms.
