KCRA 3’s weather team is calling Friday an Impact Day for lower elevations in Northern California because of potential active weather that could disrupt outdoor activities in the afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms can develop in the Valley and Foothills through about 6 p.m.A few storms could produce heavy downpours, small hail and gusty winds along with lightning. It’s not going to be a slam dunk that you do get the thunderstorms and plenty of Valley locations will remain dry. The storms are most likely to develop along the coast range and then quickly move south and east with the breeze.Remember that when you hear thunder or see lightning, seek shelter quickly. | THUNDERSTORMS 101 | Tamara Berg explains the conditions that form thunderstormsThe Foothills and lower Sierra will be relatively active too with showers and a few thunderstorms.
