Mesoscale Discussion 2269
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0922 AM CST Wed Dec 24 2025
Areas affected...Portions of the southern California Coast
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 241522Z - 241715Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...A brief tornado is possible along the immediate coast as a
shallow convective band moves east this morning.
DISCUSSION...A shallow band of convection, not currently deep enough
to support lightning production, continues to move eastward into the
LA Basin region ahead of a strong shortwave trough. The strongest
parts of this band remain near the coastline where dewpoints appear
to be in the low 60s F. Prior to the passage of this activity, KVTX
VAD data did show notable low-level shear/SRH. Recent velocity
imagery has also depicted weak, transient areas of low-level
rotation. A brief tornado will remain possible as this activity
continues east. Strong and gusty winds may also accompany the band.
The primary threat area will likely remain along the immediate coast
given decreasing surface moisture and buoyancy inland.
