Severe thunderstorms are unlikely through early Sunday morning. ....Discussion... Cyclonic flow aloft is forecast to expand eastward across much of the western U.S. though the period, as embedded short-wave troughs south of the weakening low near the Vancouver Island vicinity eject eastward. As these smaller-scale disturbances shift eastward, ascent -- aided by westerly upslope flow -- will support convection and occasional lightning, particularly along windward-facing slopes across an increasingly broad area of the western states. Meanwhile, a southern-stream short-wave trough will cross the Southeast today and tonight. While lightning is ongoing over the Gulf of Mexico and off the southern Atlantic Coast over the Gulf Stream, occasional inland lightning will also be possible. In all areas, severe weather is not expected, with convection expected to remain weak and disorganized. ...Goss/Broyles.. 03/02/2024 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
