The first of our thunderstorms rolled over the higher elevations on Friday afternoon, and there's plenty more where that came from. Moisture associated with a low pressure system over the Pacific Ocean continues to stream into the Northstate, working in conjunction with instability and a lifting mechanism -- either the landscape itself or just sunbreaks in some places -- to bubble up thunderstorms all weekend long. Saturday's action will start over the higher terrain, just like we saw on Friday. If you're up in the mountains, be prepared to adjust your afternoon plans as thunder cells fire off. The Coastal Range, Southern Cascades, and Sierra Nevada could all see storms starting around noon and continuing through sunset. These storm cells will generally roll west to east, so keep an eye on radar to track what's headed your way -- something you can do for free in the KRCR Weather app!You might already be doing the calculations in your head: "If storms start in the Coastal Range and roll eastward, wouldn't that mean we'll see lightning in the valley?" The answer is yes! Thunderstorms bringing brief heavy rain, small hail, gusty winds and lightning are possible for places like Redding, Anderson and Red Bluff starting in the late afternoon. Areas further south like Orland and Chico could also see storm activity, but we'll likely see a bigger focus further north. These storms will eventually fizzle out after dark, but you may want to adjust any outdoor dinner reservations. Before they move through, expect a pleasant first half of the day with modest sunshine and temperatures around 70.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1PyKh8_1AmmUQRs00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1PyKh8_1AmmUQRs00" width="986" height="555" >Showers and thunderstorms continue Sunday, and this looks like the coolest and wettest day for the foreseeable future. Valley highs will top out in the low 60s, and just about everyone should see a few raindrops. Given the "popcorn" style of precipitation (a little pop up here, another there, nothing in between), rain totals will vary significantly. The overall focus for storms shifts east at this point, but still includes the valley floor and the eastern mountains. We'll gradually calm things down next week, with storms retreating to the mountains by Monday and likely wrapping up altogether on Tuesday. Expect some decent warming beyond that, possibly sending some cities into the 80s! In the meantime, stay safe and up to date on weather information this weekend.
