9 pm – cell over Lake San Antonio

It has been hot and muggy all day. Even now at 8 pm, it is 80 degrees inside, with all the windows open. Lots of good strikes coming down In Paso at the moment, so be careful out there!

6 pm – I have received reports from readers in Paso Robles and in Morro Bay that they have thunder in both areas.

I have been watching the thunder clouds build all afternoon to the South and East of me. First, I will try to get a radar shot posted here, and then, I will go take a shot of the thunder heads.

Give me half an hour for the radar and the photo, and then come back. I’ve got to close everything up, just in case.

And here are a couple cloud shots, the first toward SSE and the second from ESE.

  • WoW & up here in Pacific Grove we've got the fog back. Felt like rain this morning, but it never happened.

  • Was down in Lockwood this evening. A few showers and many cloud to ground strikes visible to the south (in San Luis Obispo County). Several cells working through the area. Beautiful clouds and colors.
