California is currently experiencing a significant storm system that has brought widespread thunderstorms, heavy rain, and potential hail across various regions, including Los Angeles and the Bay Area, particularly on Wednesday afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued multiple warnings, including Flash Flood Warnings for areas like Prunedale, Central, and Southern Los Angeles, with concerns for minor flooding and landslides. The storm, characterized by slow-moving thunderstorms, has also raised the possibility of minor flash flooding, particularly near Santa Barbara. In addition to the heavy rain, totaling under an inch, there is a slight chance of severe thunderstorms capable of producing dangerous conditions such as heavy downpours, gusty winds up to 50 mph, and even a small tornado in Southern California. The weather is expected to impact the evening commute, with rainfall rates of up to 0.35 inches per hour, leading to urban flooding and DANGROUS FLOODING in some areas. The storm system is forecasted to continue affecting the region into Thursday, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms still possible.
