Watching the storms on Friday roll overhead around 2:30pm, there was a lot of shear.  It was a cool sight to watch the cloud deck moving in several different directions at increasing height.

I flew in yesterday at this time and we were delayed by an hour dodging storms as the airport temporarily halted.  It was beautiful from the air, but sadly my phone was out of battery and I could not take photos.

I picked up a quick .75" of very welcome rainfall over an hour and a half this evening.  Lightning was intense and pretty much continuous pea size hail, although it did get up to quarter size for a while.

Summer seems to be here, and right on time.  What a great weekend of weather we have...

A pretty little downdraft with a storm around 4pm today.  View is of Signal Mountain in the far background, near the divide.  

Today looks like it may be the first threat of severe weather for the northern portion of the urban corridor.

I know graupel and hail.  These were 100 percent wet flakes as the storm moved off the Divide.  It was bizarre.

At 4:15pm I had snow, thunder, and 55 degrees...

Remember the crazy late April and mid-May storms last year?

Yes, sure do.  On May 18th and May 19th we received ~40" of heavy wet snow.  By end of day on May 20th it was ALL gone on south facing slopes except for spots in the shade under trees.  I have never seen so much snow melt so quickly...

Looking like a few inches here in Conifer this week. With any luck this will be our last accumulating snowfall of the season and we can roll into a summertime pattern.

Yesterday I put my Jeep soft top on, so we are now guaranteed to delay the transition to a summertime pattern

I will say that TWC did a great job yesterday (I had not watched their programming in my years). The Bryan Norcross/Greg Forbes team were very informative and hopefully this positive trend will continue from that organization.

Agreed, and they went commercial free for a very long time. Great job TWC. Thank you for not airing the "weather for the wedding" or some other bs. Bad, bad, bad - Fox and CNN.
