Remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto produced hundreds of dry lightning strikes across California's Central Valley Monday, sparking several wildfires in the area.
Lingering energy from Tropical Storm Alberto sparked hundreds of dry lightning strikes across California's Central Valley on Monday — with almost no measurable rain — igniting several wildfires in the area. Eastern Fresno County saw the highest concentration of the lightning Monday, with more than 1,000 strikes in just three hours, when at least five brush fires ignited, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The weather service warned that those storms bring the chance of dry lightning and erratic winds, with little rain, which creates dangerous fire conditions. There is also the possibility for thunderstorms along the Central Coast and throughout the Bay Area, where lightning is the greatest concern. Most of those areas will continue to see triple-digit heat through at least Tuesday.
