Issued Zones:  Santa Barbara and Ventura Coast/Basin … Malibu … Channel Islands …

Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Tornado Watch effective tonight through Thursday morning …

Date:  12/25/19 at 11:10am PT

Forecast: Another tough forecast, but one of the components with low level instability is lacking for thunderstorm development.  We will see small hail at times and gusty winds, however with this line the SCWF Tornado Forecast Model is pegging areas of weak tornadoes being possible from Santa Barbara’s southern coast to Ventura and Malibu. 

Looks like embedded rotation that would come ashore from stronger waterspouts and into the watch area.  A Tornado Watch means that conditions are favorable in and around the watch area for tornadoes to move through.  The thunder factor is iffy though but I can’t rule out an isolated one embedded.
