1. Last night, had a big lightning display in the foothills/valley.
|
Fortunately, I don't think it caused any fires, seemed entirely cloud-to-cloud.
Not a drop of rain though. In the fall and winter, 34% chance of rain means that it rains 34% of the time. Apparently, there was some water yesterday at very high elevations. snap of webcam, courtesy of Yosemite Conservancy https://yosemite.org/ snap: 
P.S. This is a "once in seven years" catch, maybe more. Loving it. |

4. I don't know if "heat lightning". It was bizzarely windy most of the day.
|
When the day's clouds cleared, it got hot. They seemed to moderate the solar heating on the house (and me)
I couldn't get off a good shot of the lightning, but it was a band of clouds towards the valley, while the stars were clear as could be above me. Not a meteorologist! (IANAM?) I just remember from fly-fishing. Put down those graphite fishing rods when the weather turns!! Love the image capture. Must be rare as all get-out.
