NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1004 AM CST SAT JAN 24 2009

VALID 241630Z - 251200Z

...NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

LARGE SCALE RIDGING OVER ERN PAC IS LEADING TO AMPLIFICATION OF
TROUGH ALONG W COAST AND EVENTUALLY UPPER LOW DEVELOPMENT CA BY LATE
SUNDAY. A MOIST SWLY FLOW CONTINUES OVER MUCH OF WRN U.S. TO E OF
DEVELOPING W COAST TROUGH. A WEAK S/WV TROUGH NOW MOVING ACROSS NRN
INTERMOUNTAIN REGION IS ENHANCING LARGE SCALE ASCENT AND AREAS OF
PCPN. WITH REGARDS TO ANY THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS FORECAST
PERIOD...THE WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS/LIMITED DAYTIME HEATING... AND
OVERALL WEAK UPPER SUPPORT SUGGESTS THAT CONVECTION SUFFICIENT FOR
LIGHTNING DEVELOPMENT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO COME BY THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. THUS HAVE DROPPED THE FORECAST THREAT BELOW THE
10 PERCENT THRESHOLD FOR A GENERAL THUNDER AREA. ISOLATED LIGHTNING
STRIKES WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AROUND 7C/KM.
