...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH NUMEROUS LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF TRINITY AND SISKIYOU COUNTIES FRIDAY 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

.Scattered thunderstorms may develop across portions of Trinity
and Siskiyou counties Friday afternoon and evening, with the

may generate numerous fire starts in dry fuels where rain does 
not fall. Some of these storms may become strong enough to produce
erratic gusty winds and small hail. Additionally, isolated 
thunderstorms will continue to be possible overnight Friday 
through Saturday afternoon.

...RED FLAG WARNING WILL EXPIRE AT 8 AM PDT THIS MORNING...

Thunderstorm chances will continue through 5pm today, however 
fuels have moistened up quite a bit from yesterday's rains. In 
addition, storms will be moving slower today and over the same
areas therefore would expect heavier precipitation to occur with 
the thunderstorms today.
