It definitely does NOT apply to thunderstorms. From mid-afternoon yesterday I watched the radar as thunderstorms began percolating in southeastern Oklahoma. The best part was they were moving towards me, which is very unusual as most of our weather forms to our southwest. By 6 pm I received a text message that a severe thunderstorm warning had been issued for my county (nothing damaging expected, just rain, thunder and lightning). WooHoo!
Wouldn't you know it....just as it arrived on the outskirts of my very town, it fell apart. We had a little wind, a couple of claps of thunder, and barely enough rain to wet the street. About the only benefit I got of all this were some gorgeous cloud photos at sunset like the one above, taken looking south from my den window.
Maybe today will bring us another chance. Happy Sunday everyone. ;)
