Blah blah blah... Talk to me next month if it continues. Not a big deal right now.

Is lower than normal precip common during El Niño summer out east?

Yet another thunderstorm occurring. This one has a ridiculous amount of lightning and constant thunder.

Are you guys under an upper level low? Or is this just convective stuff? Stay safe.

Not sure to be honest. I would have to look it up. Maybe put a graph together on rainfall during Nino Spring/Summer.

Flash flood warnings in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Severe thunderstorm warnings as well. Nasty line of storms. Looks like it'll slam into Louisiana later this evening.

Tornado watches now extend into Louisiana and Arkansas. There are some fairly strong storms in my area right now out ahead of the main line with frequent cloud-to-ground lightning.

I think this one is convective.

There was also a thunderstorm cell over the city earlier in the afternoon but not as potent as this most recent one.

Seems like Denver and Miami are having each other's weather. Has been really dry here.

Imagine the flooding that would happen if the reservoirs had been full.

Yeah the frequency of thunderstorms here has been very tropical and they're usually in the late afternoon or early evening. It's just 30 degrees colder here. Today is the 18th day this month with thunderstorms...
