[californiadisasters] SoCal Holiday T-Storm Bulletin

...HOT TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...
 
 ...INCREASING THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS ON FOURTH OF JULY...
 
 A STRONG UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER SOUTHWEST
 CALIFORNIA WILL CONTINUE TO BRING HOT TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
  HOLIDAY WEEKEND. MANY AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO SEE THEIR WARMEST
 TEMPERATURES TODAY...WITH HIGHS UP TO 110 DEGREES IN THE ANTELOPE
 VALLEY...WHILE WARMEST MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY LOCATIONS CLIMB
 OVER 100 DEGREES. 
  
 A SURGE OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF ELEVATED
 THUNDERSTORMS TO THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY THIS 
 AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DRY 
 LIGHTNING STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS. A DEEPER LAYER OF MONSOONAL 
  MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA ON 
 MONDAY...BRINGING AN INCREASED THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE GREATEST 
 THREAT OF STORMS WILL BE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY...BUT 
 A SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS EXISTS FOR ALL COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS 
  SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. WHILE THERE COULD BE ISOLATED DRY 
 LIGHTNING STRIKES ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE MONSOON SURGE ON 
 MONDAY...THERE WILL BE A GREATER CHANCE OF WETTING
 RAINS AS THE ATMOSPHERE MOISTENS. IN FACT...THERE COULD BE LOCALLY
  HEAVY RAINFALL WITH ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING BY MONDAY 
 AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. A MOIST 
 SOUTHEAST FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE 
 TO BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE 
  MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. 
 
 WHILE THE INCREASED MOISTURE LEVELS WILL LIKELY BRING SOME COOLING
 OF DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY THROUGH 
 WEDNESDAY...THE INCREASED HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL ADD TO THE DISCOMFORT
  LEVELS. 
 
 IF PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...IT IS ADVISED 
 TO PLAN ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES DURING THE COOLEST PARTS OF THE 
 DAY...DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BEFORE TEMPERATURES REACH THEIR 
  DAYTIME HIGHS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND 
 CHECK ON YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS...ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY.
 
 NEVER LEAVE YOUR PETS OR CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A LOCKED
 VEHICLE. IN JUST A FEW MINUTES...TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE VEHICLE
  CAN CLIMB TO DANGEROUS LEVELS AND CAN PROVE FATAL TO ANY PET OR
 CHILD INSIDE.
