Ever find yourself being fascinated by Lightning? Me too.
Ever wonder what exactly causes the stuff? Me too.
Ever consider the initiation might come from charged particles inside a black hole? Me either!
Ever consider there could be such things as “Mega-Flashes” over 500 miles long? Me either!!
More info of recent incredible findings regarding all this and more in this short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wWKPF0OvBE
Links to the science behind all of this can be found in the video description..

Speaking of Extreme fire weather..
#TornadosOf Fire
Yes, the videos from this are incredible.
The canadian crown fire modeling video from the 90’s was just about the gnarliest inside look at extreme fire behavior (and shelter testing) i could get my hands on. The documentation & footage from this event is now on top of that list.. by a long shot! Talk about excellent teaching tools.
Todays installment of the ongoing “Memorial Monday” tradition at the NFFF seems very fitting given current Wx & activity across the West..

This one probably belongs under the heading of World Wx but i’ll put it here for now..
Solar Forcing, Key Takeaway: “The results show that increased solar irradiance modulates a La Niña-like sea surface temperature pattern, which enhances the Walker Circulation. This leads to enhanced upstream convection over the Maritime Continent and a greater contribution of moisture from the equatorial Pacific, resulting in lower oxygen isotope values across the monsoon region. Our findings suggest that the quasi-11-year oxygen isotope cycle primarily reflects shifts in moisture sources driven by solar activity. This study enhances model–proxy comparability and deepens our understanding of how oxygen isotopes captures decadal-scale dynamics of the East Asian monsoon.”
Heavy rainfall leads to mudslide in Provo
“A thunderstorm on Wednesday night triggered the mudslide off what seems to be the Buckley Draw Fire burn scar in South Provo, KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson said in a social media post.”
Looking back over the past 3 months
PL4 it is.
Imo, I don’t feel like the forecasters / Wx experts & predictive services in CA missed anything..
