Southern California Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective noon through 7pm, today, July 18, 2024.
Zones Affected: San Diego, Riverside Mountains – Big Bear – High Desert of Lucerne to Barstow – Coachella Valley.
Discussion: A healthy southerly flow will pump more monsoon moisture into the watch zone today. Storms are expected to erupt along the spine of the San Diego, Riverside Mountains, which can push them into parts of the Coachella Valley as well. Storms forming over Big Bear will quickly rush outflow off the mountain and bring storms to Lucerne Valley. However, the strongest outflow winds with storms will be the Barstow forecast zone. I am expecting wind gusts over 60-70 mph there with the storms.
The cells will vacate after sunset.

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. 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.
