Wider weather episode

A Red Flag Warning was issued for all of southern Oregon due to a line of thunderstorms approaching from the south containing dry lightning. The line weakened before arrival, but a number of strikes did occur over northern California. However, verification was marginal as the lightning strikes may have not been widespread enough to verify the Red Flag Warning.
