...POTENTIAL FOR STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON 
AND EVENING...

Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will spread eastward 
across the region this afternoon and evening, as a potent weather
system advances across southern California. Doppler Radar
indicates rotation with this activity, capable of producing 
waterspouts over the coastal waters.

The most intense activity will spread across the Santa Barbara 
County Central Coast through 3PM, across the Santa Barbara County 
South Coast and Ventura Coast 2PM through 6PM, and across the Los 
Angeles County Coast 3PM through 8PM. Individual showers and 
thunderstorms will track inland toward the foothills after moving 
ashore, and will likely maintain moderate to strong intensity 20 
to 40 miles inland from the coast. The most intense activity will 
be capable of producing wind gusts to 55 mph, small hail, 
dangerous lightning, and heavy downpours. While highly uncertain, 
there is a small possibility for one or two tornadoes to occur 
with this activity, along with damaging straight-line winds.

Please monitor the latest information from the National Weather
Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard California, as there will be the  
possibility for additional statements and warnings to be issued
this afternoon and evening. Have multiple ways to receive weather
alerts. Prepare to take shelter if dangerous weather approaches.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to mostly end by late 
evening.
