Here is an example of the three-body scatter spike, essentially a form of bad radar data. The radar bounces off the large hail, and possibly back to the ground, back to the hail, and back to the radar. The DBZ values are up above 70 for a couple of pixels
These are different storm cells from yesterday (Aug 11th) as seen from Bismarck ND and also Rapid City SD. You don't see the radar estimated 4" hail a lot
long-lived Typhoon Dolphin approaches China last night (that is, daytime, for that time zone,) with something like category 1, 85mph (75 kt)
The HWRF shows this was a very low pressure, so maybe winds of cat 2 or better were gusts?
Fort Collins had the hottest July on record with 77.5 average temperature and two days over 100. July 26 was an absurd high 101 low 67 with a trace of rain. That's too warm for the nighttime.
It was 102 in Fort Collins-Loveland airport
97.5 at Fort Collins weather station
The forest fire smoke doesn't seem to want to leave Colorado. Near-surface smoke and air quality have been probably up and down these days.
I told you guys a long time ago there would be fire problems. I didn't know if Colorado would have the worst fires. Apparently Colorado hasn't had the worst fires. The smoke and fire has happened in the Oregon and Washington for many days. I think I saw there were 4 fires by Spokane, with suburbs being destroyed, reported on the news.
