Isolated Thunderstorms Possible Across the Southwest Without Any Severe Risk

Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected anywhere across the United States today or tonight. Only general thunderstorm chances appear in a few western and southwestern states, with no areas outlined for severe weather.

Isolated thunderstorms become more likely from late morning into the afternoon across southern Arizona. A few stronger low-topped storms could push north-northeast into south-central and southeast Arizona by mid-afternoon. Small hail or gusty winds are possible with some of them, yet the overall chance of organized severe weather stays low.

Later in the day a few stronger storms may develop near the Rio Grande valley in southern New Mexico and far west Texas. Even so, the potential for severe weather remains low across these areas.

Lightning will likely stay limited across northern California, though some enhanced showers and low-topped storms could produce stronger near-coastal wind gusts. Additional low-topped storms may form later near the coast and possibly in parts of the interior valley.

General thunderstorm chances extend into Nevada and Utah as systems move through the region. No organized severe weather is anticipated in these areas today or tonight.
