This week San Diego County had a thunderous start to the summer coupled with cotton candy skies just before nights of scattered showers and lighting strikes.

The heavens are still not done. Western county dwellers can expect partly cloudy conditions with thunderstorms and lightning strikes in the deserts and mountains Thursday afternoon. Isolated and dry lightning strikes could possibly spark fires in the mountains and deserts, according to the National Weather Service San Diego.

It's Lightning Safety Awareness Week!

⛈ Remember: when thunder roars, go indoors.

Move from outdoors into a building or car with a roof. Stay inside for at least 30 minutes after you last hear thunder.
