Southern California Weather Force has issued a Thunderstorm Watch effective Tuesday and Wednesday, July 1st and 2nd, 2025 for the following zones;
Zones Affected: Northeast San Bernardino Deserts – Needles to Stateline, Las Vegas Metro.
Date Issued: June 30th, 2025 at 4:10pm PDT
Discussion: An upper-level low off the west coast will bring strong upper divergence (lift) through the area on Tuesday and Wednesday. While the divergence (lift) is strong, instability varying from day to night will bring a chance of thunderstorms to the watch area for just about any portion of Tuesday and Wednesday. Storms could localize heavy rain, lightning, gusty winds due to down-burst activity, and small hail.
Although this is Southern California Weather Force, this weather service is also responsible for the Las Vegas forecast zone due to the fact many travel there from here.
