San Joaquin Valley, CA – A thunderstorm threat today could bring heavy rain and hail, creating slippery road conditions across the region. The National Weather Service reports that coverage will be isolated, but the potential for slick surfaces could impact drivers in areas like Highway 99 and Interstate 5.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Hanford, there’s a 5-10% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
