A fairly substantial change from the day previous. And with warmer temps filling in certainly in part again by Sunday.richard583https://www.blogger.com/profile/00415086002282750839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-39859085449327764012012-08-06T21:50:48.982-07:002012-08-06T21:50:48.982-07:00Even though mid level convection has a lot of virg...Even though mid level convection has a lot of virga, it still provides unseen moisture and instability to the atmosphere. A sign was relatively high CAPE values.<br /><br />Very freakish, lone tstorm hit around 2pm. First, convection usually ignites further up the slopes, not lower in the valley. Two, it disappeared as quickly as it formed. Watered the yard, garden, and washed my car for the week. <br /><br />Then the sun and 100 degree heat cameback. With all the standing water, it was like a sauna. After 8 years of recording weather, my station hit an all time high DP of 72 degrees.<br /><br />To top it off, an even more instense rainstorm hit this evening a couple miles further west, causing flash flooding down many rock quarry ravines.smokejumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358322512081660205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-20151203680911044772012-08-06T19:47:31.851-07:002012-08-06T19:47:31.851-07:00What's been going on over Spokane these last f...What's been going on over Spokane these last few days? The radar has consistently shown something, but I don't believe they've had any precipitation. I don't think it looks like the bird swarms that you've shown us previously. Is it a manifestation of another type of radar behavior, or is it something that is really happening?rainycity1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15802361369001076306noreply@blogger.com
