Narrative:
At cruise; FL380; we experienced severe turbulence and were unable to maintain airspeed or altitude. We requested a descent to FL360 and then FL340. During this descent the airspeed loss caused the stick shaker to momentarily activate. At the time the weather radar showed clear of all convective activity.even though the radar showed us clear of convective activity; I could have been more vigilant for signs of turbulence and avoided them.
