A Pacific storm treated the central San Joaquin Monday to showers, a late-afternoon thunder and lightning show and snow in the higher elevations of the Sierra.

The storm is expected to taper off Tuesday morning, with just a chance of showers in the Valley and snow showers possible in the Sierra.

The thunderstorm cut power to more than 200 Pacific Gas & Electric Co. customers Fresno and more than 150 Southern California Edison customers in Exeter.
