Triple-digit temp
eratures forecast for local deserts
April 21, 2012 (San Diego’s East County) – The National Weather Service has issued a Fire Weather forecast indicating a chance of thunderstorms as well as dry lightning over East County mountains Monday afternoon and early evening.
Dry lightning, which occurs without rainfall, poses a greater risk of sparking wildfires than lightning during a rainstorm. However, the potential for a large fire remains low locally due to lack of strong winds.
Above average temperatures are predicted in inland areas, reaching as high as 105 degrees in the desert regions.
Temperatures should cool later in the week, with heavy rains possible Wednesday and Thursday.
