EP-3E Aeries II perhaps or a WP-3C Hurricane Hunter ???
Both have radomes under the fwd fuselage/nose area, and have the same engines as the C-130 with then same sound.

EP-3E Aries II or the WP-3C Hurricane Hunter would fit that description.

With a long, thin fuselage, it could be a J model. Being in California, it may be from Channel Islands. The radome would be either the same grey as the rest of the fuselage or, if it's had a new radome, it could still be in black from the manufacturer. But not brown.
