Parts of Northern California may see thunderstorms on Monday, increasing the risk of wildfires. The National Weather Service predicts a 10% to 15% chance of isolated storms in the Shasta County mountains during the afternoon and evening.
These storms could bring lightning, heavy rain, and strong winds, which might start new fires. The weather service advises staying away from hilltops, open fields, tall objects like trees, and bodies of water. It’s also best to avoid beach picnic shelters during this time.
Additionally, breezy conditions are expected across Northern California on Monday, with wind gusts between 15 to 25 mph, especially in the Delta and mountainous areas. Winds will stay breezy on Tuesday but will be less intense.
