VALID 280100Z - 281200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...CA/NV AND PARTS OF SRN ORE/SWRN ID...
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CONTINUES -- PARTICULARLY ACROSS CA -- IN
MOIST SWLY FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF MAIN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE ERN
PACIFIC /AXIS INVOF 130 DEGREES W/.

MOST LIGHTNING HAS REMAINED OFFSHORE...WITH LITTLE INSTABILITY
ONSHORE.  HOWEVER...A FEW STRIKES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS ON THE W SLOPES OF THE SIERRA...WITHIN DEEP LAYER OF
UPSLOPE FLOW.  AS UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES...ADDITIONAL COOLING ALOFT
MAY PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH DESTABILIZATION TO ALLOW A FEW LIGHTNING
STRIKES TO SPREAD NEWD INTO PARTS OF NV AND VICINITY LATER IN THE
PERIOD.  HOWEVER...OVERALL ONSHORE LIGHTNING COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN
LOW.
