Southern California Weather Force has issued a Severe Weather Statement effective Saturday September 7th, 2024.
Zone Issued For: San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Mountains … The Inland Empire … High Desert … Las Vegas and anywhere along the 15 from Barstow to Vegas … Morongo Basin … JTNP … Desert Center to Blythe …
Discussion: A ridge of high pressure has continued to affect the forecast area. This ridge will usher in moisture out of the southeast. You can already see the start of it from the altocumulus clouds overhead today, which can bring the temperature down a few degrees, however still above high heat warning criteria for the inland zones.
This moisture will work with a direct easterly flow on Saturday. Storms will form over the mountains and bring outflow westward. Convective temperatures will be high, which means that storm outflow will ignite storms in portions of the Inland Empire as well.
Storms within this can ignite the Elsinore Convergence Zone. This zone is responsible for the strongest convergence in Southern California. If you did not know, a skydiver and the tandem customer from Perris died on this convergence zone from a dust devil that unraveled their chute. Such a convergence zone like this can produce the strongest thunderstorms in the Inland Empire. There is a chance that this will not be for Corona/Norco due to the fact the Riverside, March, Perris, Hemet zones will be closer to the easterly flow.
SUNDAY: We will repeat the same thunderstorm pattern as this statement and another statement will be issued then.
FALL FORECAST: One day at a time, these are more important so don’t ask me again till it comes out.

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.
