Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 PM CDT Sun Mar 11 2018 Valid 131200Z - 141200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated thunderstorms are expected across portions of the Great Basin and along the California coast. ...CA Coast/Great Basin... Significant mid-level height falls are expected to spread inland across the western US ahead of a strong short-wave trough that will approach the CA coast late in the period. Large-scale forcing for ascent will aid mid-level moistening across NV/OR/ID as lapse rates steepen and convection should develop towards 14/00z as stronger flow aloft translates into this region. Isolated thunderstorms are expected across portions of the Great basin into the late evening hours. Farther west along the northern/central CA coast, profiles are expected to cool significantly during the day as mid-level temperatures drop in advance of approaching trough. Forecast soundings suggest sufficient buoyancy will evolve by late afternoon for lightning production within the deepest updrafts, primarily near the coast. ..Darrow.. 03/12/2018
