Thunderstorms, rain showers and hail could be headed to parts of Northern California, according to the National Weather Service. “Some monsoonal moisture will allow for slight thunderstorm chances” through Tuesday afternoon, the weather service said Monday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The agency warned of “possible fire starts due to a few stray lightning strikes” as well as gusty winds. “When the thunder roars, go indoors,” the weather service said. It’s the second time this month that the forecast has called for thunderstorms.
