...no thunderstorm areas forecast...
...summary...
thunder potential appears negligible on monday and monday night.
...discussion...
a positive-tilt shortwave trough will progress east across the
pacific northwest and northern rockies, while a separate shortwave
impulse shifts south off the central to southern ca coast. buoyancy
will be minimal in the west, generally confined to coastal ca and
parts of the great basin. a few lightning flashes are possible in
both regions. but with weaker large-scale ascent compared to
d2/sunday, thunder probabilities appear to be less than 10 percent.
elsewhere, conditions will be too dry/stable for lightning-producing
convection through the period.
