...california coast...
a mid-level low and an associated trough over the eastern pacific
will gradually approach the west coast on thursday. ahead of the
trough, a stream of moisture will feed into california, where
scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop during the day. at
the surface, a front is forecast to move southward along the central
california coast. to the south of the front near the coast, surface
dewpoints will be in the 50s f. in addition, a 50 to 60 knot
low-level jet is forecast to be in proximity to the higher surface
dewpoints. this feature will create strong low-level shear along the
central california coast, where some forecast soundings have curved
hodographs and 0-3 km storm-relative helicity above 250 m2/s2. this
could support a marginal severe threat, with cells that rotate
within short line segments. a brief tornado or isolated severe wind
gust will be possible.
