The National Weather Service issued a lightning advisory on Tuesday.

There is a 15% chance of lightning with a chance of dry thunderstorms, which could lead to an increase in the chance for a grass fire ignition or fire spread.

There have been over 100 wildland fires in the state since the start of the month.

Lightning late Monday night was detected near the 1-2 Fire in eastern San Joaquin County, which ignited at about 5:30 p.m. and had burned 215 acres as of Monday evening. Cal Fire was navigating the storm to move air assets into the area.

Thunderstorms are forecast to move north throughout the day and exit the North Bay by the end of Tuesday.

….fyi – first 2 links don’t work

Work on my desktop just fine.
What device were you using and were you using a VPN?

@Domo
Yes they do. 🙂

Looks like it was for the AM. There were thunder clouds sailing over but by afternoon sunny skies.

What about an update on garbage truck fire on 242

it blew up and peoples were ables to continue driving on about their daily days

Checking https://tinyurl.com/2yvzsczx found CalFire aviation activity that I’d been watching this afternoon is in same areas that had lightening activity east of Fresno. CalFire is really pulling out the stops on fires this year, very quick and concentrated responses.
