About 25 degrees above normal here today! Did a little fishing. No monsters , but considering lakes were frozen about a month ago, I’ll take it!

On my way into work a farmer was turning over his field and had kicked up a big dust cloud that had turned into a nice 40 foot tall dustdevil

Is that a hint of a pyrocumulus cloud?

 

[Downeastnc]

Is that a hint of a pyrocumulus cloud?

Looks kinda like it could be...

 

[Downeastnc]

Strong smoke smell even inside the plant again.....maybe the storms today can help get the fire out or at least under control....vis at the airport down to 7 miles and looking out the window here its probably lower than that and I am only a mile or so from the airport.

 

[Cad Wedge NC]

The line just went through here.... Pea sized hail and 60mph winds. Quite the wake-up call on a Saturday morning.

Cool day today. Chattanooga had a high of 58.

 

[superjames1992]

Got trapped outside in the rain yesterday in Raleigh at Brewgaloo. It was unreal. Got totally and completely soaked and the downtown streets resembled creeks at one point. I wouldn’t have been any wetter if I’d have just straight up jumped into a lake.
