Im seeing a decent cell out the window developing just NE of Seattle. Looks like the anvil is detatched from the base though

Only looks that way because the vertical shear is lifting it ahead of the base

Storm rolling into Lynnwood now, thunder is getting louder and more frequent.

Storm cell is unimpressive on radar but very unstable in the mid levels thus the loud thunder and lightning

jm31828 · July 14th, 2012, 01:29 AM

Raining now in Lynnwood, big heavy drops. Constant low, rumbling thunder.

Huge and I MEAN HUGE towering Severe T-storm moving NW out of the Steven's pass area approaching Gold bar right now, Cloud top in excess of 60K FEET

Holyshit, if that is any indication of what is coming later, we are really in for it!!!

Wow, 60k feet? That rivals the best of the cells we saw back on the plains!!

Lightning must have struck a structure here, there are now several fire trucks passing by.

I'm hearing your Thunder down here in West Seattle, and I have clear skies ( for the moment )

Very and I mean VERY unstable atmosphere over us today!!!

Please be safe guys!!!

This situation is not to be taken lightly

The cell approaching Stevens Pass has now officially been tagged as a Supercell, SPC was right in giving our locale' a severe tag for today and tonight, VERY RARE for us to have Supercells in this part of the country

Amazing. So I wonder why no severe thunderstorm watch for the area, given the obvious threat out there?

B/c NONE of the cells moving out over the lowlands are severe yet

That would explain why no severe warning, but I'd have thought there should have been a watch issued, since the ingredients seem to be in place for a few severe storms at some point.

jm31828 · July 14th, 2012, 04:26 AM

2nd storm of the evening just moved through Lynnwood. Lots of cloud to ground strikes, heavy rain and hail.

Sorry. Lol
So do you still se this activity continuing through the evening and overnight?

jiggawhat? · July 14th, 2012, 12:14 PM

It was cool up here in bellingham last evening but nothing since... Can we expect more joos?

testdrive · July 14th, 2012, 05:16 PM

It is almost as if I am another part of the country, never heard any thunder or saw any lightening in fact it was quite pleasant the whole day and evening yesterday out here in North Bend

M'sFan · July 14th, 2012, 05:45 PM

Joos!!! First a disclaimer. I was skeptical yesterday... at least for t-storm development where I live on the coast. You think you all are deprived of lightning? We go years without a real storm. I think the WA coast is the least likely place for thunderstorms in the US (seriously, pretty sure I read that). But we got HAMMERED last night in Aberdeen. I've seen great storms in the midwest and mid-Atlantic, and last night rivaled all but the most impressive ( I was in the storm that spawned the Spencer, SD tornado. Google it.) All this to say great job, sir, and thanks for the headsup.
