A series of untimely thunderstorms swept across Southern California on Tuesday, giving them the possibility of causing lightning strikes in areas with limited rainfall.

In the Los Angeles area, in the morning, storms gathered around the San Gabriel Mountains before landing onto urban areas and traveling to the southwest and coastal areas. He said every part of Los Angeles is within today's thunder.

The storm brings huge thunder and lightning, but it is usually accompanied by rainfall, one tenth or less.

"It's a dry lightning setup where you can lightning, not rain will burn," he said. "Thankfully, we haven't seen any reports of fire so far. We hope it keeps that way."

In addition to posing a risk of igniting wildfires, lightning poses a danger to human and animal health.

"Every year, nearly 100 people are killed by lightning strikes in this country," Keitel said. "When you hear thunder and find shelter, you will definitely pay attention to the warnings of nature."

Luckily, lighter rainfall reduces the risk of debris flow in fire burn scars in Eaton and Palisade, a forecast warned on Monday.

But the storm system is bringing greater rainwater inland, with the Meteorological Services sending flash flood warnings to San Bernardino County, where some areas collect three-quarters of rainfall by 4:30 p.m.

Kittle said the largest rainfall in the Los Angeles area was in the higher mountains, with 0.31 inches of rain recorded at Mount Baldi by 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday’s storms are rare as the South usually sees most thunderstorms in August and September.

"It's really an unusual low-pressure system that pulls out in the humid, tropical air of Mexico," Kittell said. "We just can't see this system running through our area at this time of year."

Kittel said the storm is expected to continue crossing Southern California on Tuesday night before gradually exiting the area around 10 p.m.

Wednesday will also see higher humidity and gushing showers. More typical June weather is expected to return Thursday, with the ocean layer hovering along the coast, with moderate temperatures throughout Los Angeles County.
