Issued Zones:  Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County Coast and Basin … San Diego Coast Oceanside and possibly Encinitas …

Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Mesoscale Discussion concerning the upgrade from Severe Thunderstorm Watch to Tornado Watch within the next several hours for this afternoon through later evening …

Date Issued:  3/28/22 at 4:40am local

Forecast: A powerful storm system is moving in as we speak and as of the release of this discussion, the first front is now nearing Santa Barbara, on time to the forecast.  This front still has the chance of thunderstorms as it moves east through VT/LA throughout the day today. 

However the focus is the second front, which is already sparking thunderstorms well offshore.  This is signaling that it will have thunderstorms when it reaches us, a lot of them.  As it reaches the mesoscale discussion area later this evening, I expect it to be very close to the surface low, in fact so close that one of the tornadoes will be a part of the surface low itself. 

Southeasterly flow present as stated in previous updates will bring the risk of large waterspouts landfalling into tornadoes.  With the instability over the land present, these could also form over the Basins as well.

THIS WOULD UPGRADE THE SYSTEM TO CATEGORY SIX IF ISSUED … This would be the first time I’ve used a Category Six out of the SCWF 1-6 storm intensity/rarity scale…

This decision will be made over the day …

A Mesoscale Discussion means that conditions are being monitored on the meso (small) scale atmosphere to upgrade the outlined area in a higher class convective (thunderstorm) type watch …

10 mile rule:  These alerts issued on this site means that within your zone and 10 miles from you will see the event forecast for.  You may or may not see the event but it means you are in the zone or 10 miles from where someone will.

Southern California Weather Force is a custom weather alert service that began in September 1999 off and is regarded as the most accurate weather service in the region, offering custom alerts, maps, and models to help save life and property.  The work done here is never 100% accurate, but it comes pretty close.  Southern California Weather Force runs on zones, so if an event happens in a zone that is 10 miles from the border of your zone, the forecast is still valid to activate your zone’s alert system.  A company quote to the public is that of “The Joker” and tells other agencies in weather this all the time… “This world deserves a better class of meteorologist… and I’m gonna give it to them”… out-forecasting even the National Weather Service with lead-time and precision, which makes this service a focus of ridicule and envy in the weather community due to having such accuracy. Alerts issued here are issued custom from this office and this office alone. You may not even hear it elsewhere, but if one is issued near or in your area, listen up because “if you do not wish to die in weather, follow, it’ll save your life one day.”

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. That is fine, the track record of the main office is very high so maintain to follow an event when posted.
