@cpb1370: CALIFORNIA WATERSPOUT STATEMENT | SOME COULD MOVE ONSHORE AS TORNADOES⚠️🌪️🌊 ⛈️a developing Pacific storm system will bring an increasing risk of THUNDERSTORMS, WATERSPOUTS, DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, AND EVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF BRIEF TORNADOES along parts of the Central and Southern California coastline Wednesday into Thursday! The National Weather Service offices in Los Angeles-Oxnard and San Francisco have issued Marine Weather Statements highlighting the potential for waterspouts as a storm system moves across California's coastal waters. 🌪️CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST: waterspout potential will increase early Wednesday morning through Wednesday afternoon, especially across the coastal waters from Monterey County southward through Big Sur and toward San Luis Obispo County. Thunderstorms could produce waterspouts, locally gale-force wind gusts, dangerous lightning, and rough seas 🌪️SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST: the greatest concern will be Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, especially south and east of Point Conception. This includes coastal waters near Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, along with the Channel Islands and Catalina Island SOME WATERSPOUTS COULD MOVE ONSHORE! If a rotating thunderstorm develops over the ocean and moves toward the coastline, an associated waterspout could potentially cross onto land as a brief tornado. Coastal communities, beaches, harbors, and areas immediately inland should pay close attention to changing weather conditions. The approaching upper-level storm system will bring colder air aloft, increasing atmospheric instability, and stronger winds through the atmosphere. These ingredients could support organized thunderstorms and localized rotation, particularly where favorable wind shear overlaps with developing instability. In addition to waterspouts, stronger thunderstorms could produce locally gale-force wind gusts, dangerous lightning, heavy downpours, reduced visibility, and hazardous marine conditions. It's important to emphasize that waterspouts and tornadoes are NOT guaranteed, and the greatest risk will depend on where thunderstorms develop and how organized they become. Confidence is increasing that the coastal waters will experience a period of potentially hazardous thunderstorm activity Wednesday into Thursday. Anyone along the California coastline, especially boaters and those planning marine activities, should closely monitor forecast updates⚠️🌪️🌊 ⛈️
