A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is now in effect until 4:15 pm for the area just east of Agunga to Cahuilla to Anza. The National Weather Service is warning of the possibility of quarter size hail, strong winds, heavy rain, and continuous cloud to ground lightning.

Any lightning striking outside of the rain area could produce isolated fire starts.
