...FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING FOR ABUNDANT LIGHTNING ON DRY FUELS FOR
FIRE WEATHER ZONE 282...

* Impacts: Lightning and high fire danger will likely result in
  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...Fire Weather Zone 282.

* Thunderstorms: On Tuesday, expect a mix of isolated and
  scattered shower and thunderstorms with the best chance for
  thunderstorms from the Siskiyous south, Cascades east as well as
  into southwestern Jackson County.

* Rainfall: Thunderstorms are expected to be a mix of wet and dry,
  so locally significant wetting rainfall will be possible with
  some of the thunderstorms, especially the slower moving ones.
  Lighting may occur outside of the storm cores where there is
  little or no rainfall.
