CA-SNF-June lightning?

Couple of storms passed Huntington and east of shuteye peak then had one high base cell pop up between shaver and meadow lakes putting out a lot of noise.

Hopefully nothing major. Between the snow and tore up roads I’ve been dying to get up there and fish/camp

That’s a pile burn operation that’s been going on for the last week or so.

Hopefully the weather doesn’t do like it did around this time last year when that wind event came through with some thunderstorms.

Fine fuels are pretty well cured around redinger and plenty left to burn down there.

thunderstorms predicted for the next few days for the upper foothills and above. prescribed burns going on… YNP and @Stanislaus_NF plus Shaver I think too if memory serves. Got super breezy here in Soulsbyville, Tuolumne county when the thunderheads moved in… watched them building in the early afternoon and they were superb tall. I don’t know the technical term but it seemed like they capped out, spread out and down the hill and that’s when it got windy. Hopefully everything stays in it’s containment lines. If not here’s a Pic of some of fuels we’re seeing. 6’ tall in a lot of areas.

250 acres of logging slash and very heavy fuels…right where the tornado hit during the creek fire.

I’m guessing some or most of these are lightning caused

We had a tiny thunderstorm/angry cloud over meadow lakes then i went and watched the storm that caused these fires as it moved down the kings and dissipated.

Typically, SoCal will get thunderstorms from strong winter storms or from tropical moisture patterns —such as remnants of Eastern Pacific hurricanes or monsoonal moisture.
