URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE...CORRECTED

926 AM PDT Thu Jul 23 2026

...HIGH ABUNDANT LIGHTNING RISK WITH THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...

The upper level low offshore will shift to the east just enough
to allow for monsoonal moisture to move into the region.
Instability will accompany the moisture and allow for increased
chances of isolated to scattered thunderstorms across the eastern
mountains. Brief heavy downpours, gusty outflow winds in excess of
45 mph, small hail, and frequent lightning will be possible. A
strong to briefly severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out this
afternoon and early evening.
