Lighting is expected to make an encore performance in the Bay Area as a new wave of thunderstorms is forecast to roll into the region Tuesday after nearly 1,200 ground strikes overnight.
About 7,000 flashes lit up the sky across the Bay Area Monday night along with actual ground strikes, and forecasters said residents can expect similar conditions sometime Tuesday afternoon and into the evening.
“The threat exists again today. It’s hard to say how much lightning any particular area will get,” said Scott Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
