Flash flood watch continues through 11 p.m.

Update 6:05 p.m.: Moderate to heavy rainfall has been reported in isolated areas around South Lake Tahoe and Meyers, along with several lightning strikes. Lightning likely caused one spot fire high in the trees south of the intersection of Highway 50 and 89 in Meyers. It appeared, however, that heavy rain doused the flames.
Meanwhile, a flash flood watch remains in effect until 11 tonight for portions of California and Western Nevada including the greater Lake Tahoe area, Carson City and Reno.
The National Weather Service reports the slow moving storms may produce heavy rainfall with downpours near or exceeding one inch per hour.

These heavy downpours could cause localized flash flooding in some areas and a rapid rise in small streams and creeks, according to the weather service. Go here for the latest.
