Southern California Weather Force has issued a Thunderstorm Watch for scattered thunderstorm cells containing lightning, funnel clouds to tornado risk, hail, and burst of rainfall today through this evening.  The locations will be Los Angeles County, Northern Orange County, and the Inland Empire zones …

Latest satellite images show another impulse embedded within the departing storm system.  This is crossing Monterey Bay at the moment, moving toward the watch area.  Instability will develop quickly today due to the breaks in the activity.  As this happens, warm low-level air will work with cold air aloft to produce that thunder/hail risk with any of the cells moving across the advisory zones as well as funnels/small tornadoes.

This type of pattern is easy to forecast because the convergence zones will be from Santa Clarita eastward through Yucaipa.  This means that storms forming along it will move from there and southward through the watch zones.  This pattern does put storms into Los Angeles proper and while I did say the main storm would miss opening day, storms will cross Dodger Stadium by around 3-5pm.  The first pitch will be a couple hours after the storms pass, so I will maintain the forecast of clear skies for opening night in all sectors.  These storms will die as the sun goes down across all sectors.

LONG RANGE:  April will have a number of systems that will continue moving through.  We are still not done yet.  I will report on the long range more when I crunch more numbers.
