Rain Relief to Southern California Next Week - Weekend

July 6, 2008 - 12:00pm

(Southern California) Showers and Thunderstorms across all of Southern California mid this week to mainly later week early weekend.

As you know OWSweather.com called thunderstorm chances a week ago if you follow the service. Well now it is coming to the point and this statement is going out.

Tropical development is key to forecasting the rain and thunderstorms of the Southwestern USA. Surges of moisture from such with added vorticity are key players in the development of showers and thunderstorms during the summer.

The key player is a tropical wave that will be coming up the Baja spine all week. This would add the need moisture surge with the building four corners high mid-late week - to weekend. The wave is not the National Hurricane Center's FIVE-E.

The wave will form to the East of that mess and not be a named storm. It will just be a wave with moisture and dynamics causing showers and thunderstorms to all of the forecast area later week.

OWSweather.com's Tropical Weather Service is eyeing a storm the NHC is not. The storm will be more powerful than the rest of this years Eastern Pacific Tropical Storms.This would track very close to the Western Coast of the USA if the high pressure system stays in place. This would be over next weekend so take note. Increased shower and thunderstorm chances are in our forecast this week and weekend.

OWSweather.com official forecasts will be updated accordingly as more information is looked into.
