Radar returns over Folsom showing a characteristic hook shape, does anyone see rotation out that way?
Unfortunately, this is turning into a pretty major dry lightning event in multiple areas.

I sure hope they are getting some wetting rain around Tahoe and Truckee. They are getting slammed with Strikes.

Well the outlook was saying it’s not uncommon for a double season… so back to back La Niña is predicted.

Lots of holdover lighting strikes out there laying dormant for things to dry out. The rain we got, was largely inconsequential with inconsistent and superficial soil penetration and little affect on the 100-1000 hr fuels.
We’re going to need to be on our A-game this week.

Also with broad northerly flow and some offshore winds things are going to dry out very quickly.

Much of the area between Chester and Old Station got a good soaking. The dust was settled and there were still raindrops shimmering on the buckbrush at noon up by Drakesbad. Heard some people say they got 3/4" in Quincy.
