A hazardous weather warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for the Eastern Sierra, including the Lake Tahoe and Reno areas.

Thunderstorms will develop Saturday afternoon and into the evening, mainly north of Highway 50 and through Mono County. Rainfall rates could meet or exceed 2 inches per hour and therefore localized flash flooding is a possibility under stationary or slow moving stronger storms, NWS warns.

Moisture could linger into Sunday.

In other weather news, July was the seventh warmest July in Reno since 1906. The temperature reached at least 90 degrees on every day in July except the first four days of the month.
