Thunderstorms coming

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sun angles are increasing, but as past experience has told us, that does not mean warmer weather.

Another round of heavy rain

[Dan the Weatherman]

Had some heavy rain along with thunder and lightning here in Orange tonight over the last 45 minutes or so. It has now lightened up as the squall line has moved south and east of the area and the lightning has diminished as well. This is the second night in a row in which I have seen lightning here, which is quite rare around these parts!
