..NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST  
 
   
..SUMMARY  
 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.  
   
..DISCUSSION  
 
WITHIN THE BASE OF A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED LARGE-SCALE TROUGH OVER THE  
WEST, A MIDLEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM WILL PHASE WITH STEEP MIDLEVEL  
LAPSE RATES OVER SOUTHWESTERN AZ TODAY. WHILE WEAK BUOYANCY WILL  
DEVELOP ATOP A DRY LOW-LEVEL AIR MASS (INVERTED-V-TYPE SOUNDING),  
CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN TOO WEAK FOR LIGHTNING OWING TO THE LIMITED  
MOISTURE. ELSEWHERE, A COLD/DRY AIR MASS WILL PRECLUDE THUNDERSTORM  
POTENTIAL ACROSS THE CONUS.
