@hawkstwelve must still be some forum bugs because this says @GHweatherChris instead of @SilverFallsAndrew I even refreshed page and it didn’t change 

Your eyes do not deceive you.  The way it was worked, we don't need some rooty tooty fresh and fruity look.

Just saw some lighting out in the far distance. Looks like it was from the storm that’s over the Kitsap peninsula right now.

That’s a crap load of lightning for west of the cascades. And 30 k tops, a rare occurrence.

Yeah that must be where I’m seeing the lightning from. There’s a decent light show out in that direction right now. Though it seems like it would be closer with how the lightning looks.

I think round 2 is what we see down south. I hope it delivers.

Snow is better during the day, lightning is better at night. Do you agree? And windstorms better during day as well.

Another thing about thunderstorms is that they don’t have to be right over you to see the show! Especially at night!

Woah, I’ve never seen that radar pick something up that far north.

I know, right..lol. I said the same thing when I saw it on the Portland radar. Those cloud tops are very high. It explains why there is a lot of lightning. Not just cloud to ground lightning but cloud to cloud lightning too that won't be picked up on my lightning detector.

Looks like some more showers/thunderstorms are reforming. I did a close up on one so you can see what I'm talking about. 

I hope I don't miss out on all this action. I need to go to bed. I have to get up early. I also have a medical procedure tomorrow afternoon. I'm not looking forward to not eating after my morning breakfast 😕 Have fun watching the thunderstorms tonight. Hopefully there will be some in my area either tonight or tomorrow morning 🤗⛈️ Goodnight 😊

For those who haven’t seen storms yet. Keep in mind models did not pick up on most of this. Step outside and you can feel it in the air. We’re just getting started. 

The storm near mount rainier might be heading into the south sound. Looks pretty significant at the moment.

Looks like central sound will be missed but you never know.
