Southern California Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective now through later this evening.
Zones Affected: San Diego, Riverside Mountains – Big Bear – High Desert – Morongo Basin to JTNP – Coachella Valley – Desert Center – Western Imperial County – Clark County, Nevada.
Discussion: Monsoon moisture will hang deep for the final day of this event. Storms are expected to form across the Big Bear Lake areas first, pushing northward through Lucerne’s forecast zones this afternoon. As this happens, storms will rip down the Riverside and San Diego County Mountain zones. Flow is predominately northward with a north-northeast component so what should happen is a chance of these leaking again into the Coachella Valley, San Diego Deserts, and maybe some outflow cells for the Imperial Valley zones.
This flow also means an ignition of cells in the Morongo Basin, Joshua Tree National Park zones, and southeastward to Desert Center. Desert Center looks to have a damaging wind event from strong microbursts with the cells that will form there.
Cells are possible for Wrightwood, in-which the attending southerly flow will bring outflow into the El Mirage Convergence Zone, which is just to the west of Interstate 15. I do not think this flow will have the direction to bring metro high desert zones along I-15 a chance of storms between the Cajon Pass and just south of Barstow. This will form an upside-down horseshow connecting Adelanto to Lucerne Valley’s convergence zone.
The cells will vacate after sunset.
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 to and from there from here.

He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.
Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years’ experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.
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.
