Huge Convergence Zone Cell Today
« on: March 14, 2014, 09:05:30 PM »
Today we had a very active cell move through.  The local ABC affiliate uses my cams and I was exchanging many emails during it's "visit".  Their meteorologist (Scott Sistek) was very concerned about funnel cloud activity.  This all made for a very interesting time lapse along with a few photos at the end taken by "Mrs. SkunkBayWeather".....  :lol:  It is 1 minute 30 seconds with perspectives from Cam1 then Cam2 and then a panorama.  This is BIG stuff for us.  We don't see this intensity very often. 





Thought I'd Share,
Greg

We had 1.16" of rain in less than 20 minutes right around 11:00 PDT from that cell as it passed over Duvall.  The thunder and lighting were impressive!
