Severe WX March 23-25th, 2023

From what I have found in the tornado archive on NWS San Diego website, the last tornado that affected around Los Angeles in March was 1983.
An EF0 touched down near the LA Memorial Coliseum on December 12, 2014 and a couple more EF0's occurred between 1983 and then, but the Montebello tornado is probably the most significant to strike the area since the 1983 F2.

Incredible video of the 2014 tornado - there is some foul language, but talk about being in the right (or wrong?) place at the right time!
 
I'm impressed, the 18z nam indicates north Mississippi being the best zone.

I think this is pretty dangerous event coming up, especially if all the ingredients come together around the same time
 
A tornado formed in Montebello, California, just east of Los Angeles. It is clear they do not see these very often.
I assume the reaction to a tornado on the west coast is similar to the reaction to an earthquake on the east coast
 
The 18z 3km NAM.

I could concur with that. Something we do not experience much of tends to put us at wonder.

This definitely has a higher ceiling than the recent events that have underperformed. If not an outbreak, I could easily see a violent long-tracker. But the potential for two or more supercells with multiple EF2+ events each appears to be greater than prior to the recent “busts.” As @CheeselandSkies mentioned, the fact that the PDS soundings consistently include solid analogs in both categories is concerning. This has all the main synoptic-scale ingredients in place for a potentially significant event, including the classic broad-based, low-amplitude background. Arguably this has the potential to be that which 1–3 March could have been.
 
I’m interested in seeing what models look like this time tomorrow, as they hone in on the 24 hour mark and less. I think there is less limiting factors with this event, unfortunately going to be after dark.
