This looks like it could be fun. From Daniel Swain of Weather West:
On Tue, a slow-moving low will drift toward Central Coast. By this point, it will have entrained copious tropical moisture on its eastern flank. The airmass will be convectively quite unstable by CA standards, & mid-level ascent will provide trigger for t-storm development.
Mebbe not s’ much fer them thar folks what be in the hollers.
Dry lightening in happening now in Corral de Tierra, Salinas.
Still going on since about 11:55pm
