Wet July 3 and the secret sauce of the Northwest storms
My podcast is down and I’m talking about some wet weather coming over the weekend, including thunderstorms. And I tell you why it’s so rare in our region to have thunderstorms and the “secret sauce” for explosive storms.
Central Europe’s latest forecast is for unusual rainfall over the next ten days across southern BC and northeastern Washington (see below). Just where we need it to reduce the local smoke/wildfire threat.
The latest super high resolution forecasts show some very strong and widespread thunderstorm activity Saturday night. See the simulated radar imagery forecast at 9 p.m. Saturday. OH.
July 4th, although cool, looks relatively benign.
My podcast also talks about thunderstorms and convection – and why we get so little. The great enemy of local thunder is the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean — but there are other problems too.
