Lightning predictions

Looks like it is to be east of us on the other side of the Santa Lucias. First lightning start was around dawn in Ventura County near Santa Paula.

  • We're getting some light rain and seeing lightning from Partington Ridge. It's to the north/northeast, and thunder comes about 20 seconds after, so about 4 miles away.
