Thunderstorms are anticipated to develop each afternoon and evening, today through Wednesday. The main threats with storms will be lightning, which may lead to new fire starts and gusty winds, potentially reaching up to 50 mph locally. Small hail is also possible with the stronger storms. How can you prepare? Stay Informed: Have a way to receive weather warnings, such as a NOAA Weather Radio Outdoor Recreation: If you have hiking, camping, or boating plans, be prepared to alter them. Be off the water and away from exposed peaks and ridges well before storms arrive. Secure Loose Objects: Ensure that outdoor furniture, trampolines, and other items that could be blown around by strong winds are secured.
