Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected today in portions of northern California and east of the Cascades in Oregon. The main threats will be cloud to ground lightning, hail, and strong gusty outflow winds. Brief heavy downpours are also possible due to slow storm motions, which could cause mudslides/debris flows in recently burned areas. Remember that lightning is deadly - when you hear thunder, seek substantial, covered shelter and remain there until 30 minutes following the last rumble of thunder.
