...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected across portions of southern
California tonight.
...Southern CA...
No changes have been made to the existing forecast. A compact upper
low is approaching southern CA. This feature will be accompanied by
a pocket of cold temperatures aloft, marginal instability, and
enhanced large-scale lift. This should be sufficient for scattered
showers and a few thunderstorms along/behind the front as it moves
ashore after midnight. Gusty winds or small hail could accompany the
strongest cells, but organized severe storms appear unlikely.
...Central CA...
A burst of lightning activity has been recently noted along a line
of convection extending roughly from San Jose to west of Sacramento.
While there is some potential that further lightning flashes will
occur in this region, weak and weakening instability fields suggest
that the overall threat is expected to remain below 10% coverage.
