A storm system will hit Southern California on Wednesday and Thursday, ejecting into the plains by Friday and Saturday with widespread severe thunderstorms expected out there.

Over at the Southern California Weather Authority we name the Pacific Storms that come into the region, a novelty since 1998-1999. This is Pacific Storm Adam, a category three system for Wednesday into Thursday.

Pacific Storm Adam will hit the Point Conception areas on Wednesday, and Los Angeles overnight Wednesday into Thursday, bringing locally heavy rain in spots under the thunderstorms that form.

Hail, funnel clouds, and waterspouts will also be a concern along with resort level snows for any cells that pass those areas.

After the system moves out on Thursday night, it will quickly eject into the plains where severe thunderstorms will be likely between then and Saturday across a large area.

These storms will contain large hail, damaging winds, and even tornadoes.
