NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

VALID 220100Z - 221200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SRN CA...

EARLY EVENING SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A FAIRLY WELL DEFINED
UPPER VORT/SHORT WAVE TROUGH...ROUGHLY NEAR 26N/121W...LIFTING NNEWD
TOWARD THE SRN CA COAST/NRN BAJA PENINSULA. THIS FEATURE WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY ENHANCE ASCENT/PRECIPITATION ACROSS THIS REGION LATER
TONIGHT INTO THE DAY2 PERIOD. WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ON THE
ORDER OF 7 C/KM...CONTINUED MID LEVEL MOISTENING SHOULD RESULT IN
WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY FOR PARCELS LIFTED NEAR 650-750MB. 00Z
SOUNDING FROM NKX SUPPORTS THIS WITH MUCAPE OF 165 J/KG...JUST
ENOUGH BUOYANCY FOR CONVECTION AND POSSIBLY A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SUGGEST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.
