Saturday, July 11, 2026 @ 1:30 AM PDT - Monsoonal moisture arrives into central California on Sunday and brings a 10 to 20 percent chance of thunderstorms along the Sierra Nevada crest. The chances increase on Monday to 30-40 percent, and at least a slight chance exists for the Sierra Nevada foothills. We also cannot rule out sprinkles or light showers in the San Joaquin Valley on Monday. More storms are also possible Tuesday and through the end of the week, although the best chances will be over the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada.
