Batten down the hatches, folks! The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning that’s set to rattle parts of San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties. With a storm creeping in from the Ripon area, folks in nearby towns like Modesto and Manteca should prepare for some intense weather. We’re talking about quarter-sized hail that could leave your car resembling modern art.
Winds are set to gust up to 50 mph, and the warning is effective until 2:30 p.m., so it’s best to get your ducks in a row before the storm hits. And if you thought that was enough drama for one day, there’s also the chance of funnel clouds making an appearance. The KCRA 3 weather team has declared this Friday an Alert day, so be mindful of the skies.
Keep your umbrellas handy and remember that a little rain makes everything beautiful—except when it comes to your freshly washed car! Are you ready for the weather roller coaster?
