More monsoon storms last night!
I noticed lightning to my north sometime nearing 10pm, had a look at radar, also noting another storm to the south... then went just after 10 to stormwatch & video the lightning..
I certainly had a good dual 'light show' to watch. At some point, I noticed low-level clouds moving west - towards the mountains... Upslope flow!
Wasn't long after that that lightning intensity picked up a bit & the empty space between the storms filling in. Basically formed up into a QLCS type thing.
I'll just say that I was treated to an awesome "light show" last night, especially after the point when I noticed the upslope flow.
Not long after the QLCS formed up, I had to go in because the rain started.
Then it all consolidated into a single storm system (and went severe-warned/flood advisory).
So not only did I get that great light show last night, I got another good soaking rain
Now this is what I live for..my first true love! A good summer thunderstorm (and one that moved right over me![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It was well worth staying up late for this. I deff would not want to have missed it!!!
(radar shots show the 3 points that I mentioned)
