Severe thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight across the Lower 48 states. ....Synopsis... Water-vapor imagery early this morning shows a potent mid- to upper-level trough near -130 deg W moving east towards the West Coast. This large-scale trough will reach the CA coast by early Saturday morning. Cold-air advection in the mid levels associated with the approaching trough and increased large-scale forcing for ascent, will favor the development of showers and a few thunderstorms moving ashore from Point Conception to southwest OR. Pockets of scant instability will likely limit both thunderstorm coverage/intensity. Elsewhere across the contiguous U.S., surface high pressure will influence conditions and be hostile for thunderstorm activity. ...Smith/Marsh.. 12/29/2023 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: Ilink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:1/105) .
