...NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS AND FORECAST...
LARGE-SCALE PATTERN THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS CHARACTERIZED BY A
AMPLIFIED LONG WAVE TROUGH IN THE E AND RIDGING OFF THE CA COAST.
SEVERAL SMALLER-SCALE FEATURES ARE FORECAST TO TRANSLATE THROUGH
THIS MEAN PATTERN...THE MOST NOTABLE OF WHICH BEING SHORTWAVE TROUGH
CURRENTLY OVER THE PACIFIC NW WHICH WILL AMPLIFY AS IT PROGRESSES
SEWD THROUGH THE ROCKIES. IN THE LOW-LEVELS...EXPANSIVE SURFACE
RIDGE WILL BUILD SEWD THROUGH THE ERN THIRD OF THE NATION WITH
CHINOOK WARM FRONT DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS.

INCREASED LARGE-SCALE FORCING AND STEEPENING MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AHEAD OF SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE CNTRL/SRN ROCKIES MAY
SUPPORT A LIGHTNING STRIKE OR TWO MONDAY AFTERNOON. THREAT APPEARS
TOO LIMITED TO WARRANT INCLUSION OF GENERAL THUNDER AREA. 

ELSEWHERE...SHOWERY PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE
PERIOD ALONG THE PACIFIC NW COAST OWING TO PERSISTENT LOW-LEVEL WAA
AND OROGRAPHIC ASCENT. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT BETTER
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...WITH ONLY
A LIGHTNING STRIKE OR TWO POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST.
