...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

...Synopsis...
An upper trough along the West Coast will move eastward across the
Great Basin, with a 70+ kt midlevel jet pushing across southern CA,
AZ, and NM. Meanwhile, an upper low will move slowly eastward across
the Great Lakes, with a broad area of cyclonic flow aloft remaining
over much of the eastern CONUS.

Upper 60s dewpoints will exist during the day ahead of a cold front
over FL, and this boundary will clear the state by 12Z Friday.
Daytime heating may yield scattered showers and thunderstorms along
the front, but lack of large-scale support, poor lapse rates and
weak shear below 500 mb should result in weak storms.

To the west, cold air aloft along the West Coast may yield embedded
convection over parts of CA, from central parts of the coastline
eastward toward the Sierra. Forecast soundings indicate little
SBCAPE will be present owing to cool surface temperatures, and thus
severe weather is not expected.
