Issued Zones: Los Angeles Coast/Basin … All of Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial County … Baja, Mexico … Offshore Islands …

Site: Southern California Weather Force has issued a Thunderstorm Watch effective today, peaking overnight, and into Friday …

Date Issued: 12/21/23 at 8:30am local

Forecast: A cutoff low is impacting the region through the watch period. As more lift associated on the eastern periphery is enhanced further, thunderstorms will be likely. Thunderstorms will move from south to north across the affected zones.

While isolated activity can be expected today, the heaviest dynamics will arrive in the San Diego zones between 9-10pm tonight and spread north from there.

As the low moves east over the day on Friday, continued off and on showers and thunderstorms will be likely, ending from west to east through the later evening and night hours.

Storms in the watch area can produce waterspouts, funnel clouds, hail, high winds, and flooding conditions. There is indeed a small area of stronger dynamics that will hit the Western Baja Coast down through Ensenada that can produce better tornado chances, a rarity.

He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.

NOTE: Alerts are posted on here, be it a tornado watch, etc, and these alerts are issued from this office and nowhere else. At times, which is often, you will see an alert forecast posted on here that you do not see elsewhere.
