The low risk of Monday thunderstorms in the Bay Area has dissipated, though there was one morning report of a lightning strike.
The National Weather Service canceled the Red Flag Warning, which was otherwise set to expire Monday evening. In a statement posted on Twitter at 5:36 a.m. Monday, NWS said:
“Much of the monsoonal moisture tracked offshore overnight and did not result in thunderstorm activity.”
