new fire starts. Gusty thunderstorm winds could contribute to
fire spread. Despite rainfall, initial attack resources could
be overwhelmed and holdover fires are possible.

* Affected area: - In northern CA, portions of Fire Zones 280...

this afternoon and early evening with abundant lightning. Storms
may be on the dry side in the morning before becoming wetter
during the afternoon. Winds will be gusty and erratic in and
near thunderstorms.

* Additional Details: The most likely area for scattered
thunderstorm activity is expected to be from roughly Klamath
Falls south and southeast across eastern Siskiyou and Modoc
County. As thunderstorm activity persists into the early
evening, some scattered coverage may develop in southern Lake
County. Otherwise, isolated coverage is expected for other areas.
