The National Weather Service (NWS) issued several tornado warnings for the coastal areas of California around San Luis Obispo into the very early hours of Tuesday morning amid the threat of severe thunderstorms.

The tornado warnings had all expired by around 12:45 a.m. local time, but the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) said there is a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in place until 6 a.m.

“A line of low-topped convection will move east-southeastward through the early morning hours while posing a threat for mainly occasional strong to damaging winds,” the SPC said in its alert.

“A brief tornado or two may also occur. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 35 statute miles east and west of a line from 15 miles west northwest of Paso Robles CA to 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles CA.”

Those winds could reach 70 mph, the SPC warned.
