Southern California Weather Force has issued a Special Weather Statement effective for the following areas:

Zones: Eastern half of San Luis Obispo County, Western half of Kern County, including Bakersfield. Eastern half of Los Angeles County. The Cajon Pass. The Inland Empire. Orange County. San Diego County. Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside County Mountains. Palm Springs. Western Baja, California.

A storm system moving through the area will begin to bring in colder air aloft. This will start first in San Diego overnight tonight. Thunderstorms are possible down there.

As daytime heating happens tomorrow, the combined north to south flow and onshore flow will bring a convergence zone on and south of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Mountains. This is a classic setup known to develop thunderstorms there, something the news will call a ‘surprise event’ when it isn’t, and the flow will move them south through the LA, OC, IE, San Diego forecast zones. Higher elevations can have thundersnow with this setup.

The rest will have hail, wind, funnel/small tornado, and heavy rain risks.

A Thunderstorm Watch may be issued, but if not, you have your forecast.

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. 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.
