There are no watches, warnings, or advisories at this time.

A weak system moving north along Baja California later this week will bring a chance for afternoon thunderstorms in the high Sierra Friday through Sunday. Cloud-to-ground lightning, small hail, and gusty and erratic winds may be present in developed storms. Remember, if thunder roars, go indoors!
If venturing into the rivers and streams, take caution, as the water will be flowing cold and fast! Also be careful not to slip on rocks and other slippery surfaces. Always wear a life vest and bring a life preserver.
