Here's another way at looking at the thunderstorms!!

From the big storm east of Rainier. There was a 50k ft tall pulse an hour ago, I'm pretty sure that's where this high cloudcover is coming from

Mammatus clouds in North Bend?

Definitely agree with the risk of rapid/flash drought onset around these parts. Evaporation rates start to get fairly high at this time of year so a couple weeks of little to no rain can dry things out pretty quickly.

Very warm outside with mammatus. No sun. Wonderful.
