Luckily, there are some hardened weather stations, including this one about eight miles from his place. This is an interesting way to watch a hurricane in real time, from afar, from a weather perspective. <a href="http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=bftn7" rel="nofollow">Morehead City station</a>JewelyaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434569437851248356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-58641285789304041762011-08-26T13:24:22.704-07:002011-08-26T13:24:22.704-07:00"Retired folks can get in for practically not..."Retired folks can get in for practically nothing."

And its a common form of lightning activity I use for photography here in E. Wash. <br /><br />I just read its parcels rising from the top of a stable layer or inversion. Triggered by vort maxes, jet streaks, etc. Makes sense now why its mostly at night. And why it dissipates during the day over land but holds more over the ocean.<br /><br />My camera was hoping for some action tonight but I just stepped out and there's not one altocumulus castellanus. Besides one morning outbreak that really hurt some crops, its been an extreme thunderstorm free summer.smokejumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358322512081660205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-72807474879113810132011-08-25T23:02:18.704-07:002011-08-25T23:02:18.704-07:00Is it me or has the humidity been unusual?
