AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER
VALLEY INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 102112Z - 102315Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD
INTO SOUTHERN CA AND AZ THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS
NORTHERN BAJA CA THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACH OF TS RACHEL. LOW
TO MID-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION HAS SLOWLY BEEN INCREASING NORTHWARD
THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH THIS EVENING, YIELDING
~1000 J/KG OF MLCAPE. IN ADDITION, KINEMATIC FIELDS ARE BECOMING
MORE FAVORABLE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORM ORGANIZATION ACROSS THIS
REGION. THE LATEST MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
IS BEGINNING TO APPROACH 45-50 KT, ALONG WITH THE YUX VAD PROFILE.
DCAPE ~1100 J/KG AND STORM CELL MERGERS COULD SUPPORT SEVERE WIND
GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH, THOUGH LIMITED SEVERE COVERAGE DOES NOT WARRANT
A THUNDERSTORM WATCH AT THIS TIME.
