Issued Zones:  Western Santa Barbara County Vandenberg AFB … San Luis Obispo County …

Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Squall-line Watch effective now through tonight …

Date:  1/5/19 at 7:35am PT

Forecast: A potent quick moving system known as Pacific Storm SIMON will affect the area today and tonight, with a slight break in activity by Sunday morning, with returning rainfall over the day on Sunday. 

A wet pattern, the Martin Storm Pattern is emerging.  This squall-line watch is due to the strong winds I expect with the front, with gusts in excess of 40+mph in the Vandenberg AFB to San Luis Obispo County areas today. 

There is a chance of thunderstorms as well during this event … but for now will stick to heavy rainfall and gusty winds that can bring poles/trees down in the watch area.
