Weather Predictions for Central California Coast for Wednesday…

…include the potential for dry lightning. Confidence in this prediction is low to moderate.

The Central Coast is where the greatest
instability appears to be focused on Wednesday and is where the
greatest potential for high-based showers/thunderstorms to
develop. Given this, there could be a mix of both wet and dry
thunderstorms with the potential for dry lightning which may
create new fire starts. Confidence remains low to moderate at time
yet impacts would be high if dry lightning were to occur given
the dry fuels across the region. Please monitor the latest
forecast information and we try to gain a better handle on this
potential hazard. Also, monitor the Fire Weather Discussion below
for additional details.
