NEVADA CITY, Calif. October 4,2010 - The unsettled weather brought a plethora of lightning strikes throughout California on Saturday and Sunday. 8,598 hits were recorded throughout the state, with 2,632 strikes landing in the region's National Forests on Sunday.

The Tahoe National Forest reports five fires from Saturday's lightning event, all of them are contained and in patrol status. Precipitation on the west side of the forest was spotty, according to Public Affairs Officer Ann Westling. The east side received over an inch of precipitation.

The daily weather discussion from NorthOps: "A low pressure trough moving into the North Ops region will stall and form a cutoff low over Central California Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday the low will weaken and move northeastward through Nevada. Showers and thunderstorms are possible mainly over the southern and eastern portions of the North Ops region through Wednesday, then in eastern areas Thursday as the low exits. A warming and drying trend is expected Friday through Sunday."
