Severe Storm Risk
-There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY SUMMARY An isolated risk for severe gusts/localized wind damage and perhaps a brief tornado will be possible today into this evening along much of the California Coast and portions of the Central Valley. 20z Update The previous outlook reasoning remains on track, and no changes were made with this update. A few thunderstorms had developed over the Sacramento Valley since 18z, where partial clearing was noted and weak buoyancy (200-300 J/kg) was present. Offshore, an increase in lightning was noted as the next upstream vorticity maximum moves towards the CA Coast. Although buoyancy will remain weak, stronger low/mid-level flow will become re-established later this afternoon/evening and will support an isolated risk of strong/severe wind gusts with a few stronger/sustained convective elements, and low-level hodographs will be sufficiently curved to conditionally support a brief tornado.
