A few thunderstorms are possible along the Sierra high country tomorrow afternoon. Small hail and wind gusts near 40 miles per hour are associated with strong thunderstorms. In addition to dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, any thunderstorm can produce intense rainfall rates, leading to localized flooding. Thunderstorms are not expected over the Oak Fire, however winds can become gusty and erratic near thunderstorms.
