About real clouds, weather, cloud seeding and science autobio life stories by WMO consolation prize-winning meteorologist, Art Rangno
Your evening sililoquoy with a Cumulonimbus
Along with this photo sequence, I reprise the thoughts you had as a CMJ1 yesterday as you watched a truly stunning cloud drama evolve:
Nice morning, though, breezy, humid (dewpoint 65 F) with “flat heaps” (Stratocu) topping Sam Ridge now. What will happen today? Mods think some showers will form in the mid-afternoon here and there. But wind will keep the temperatures down, reduce chances of that.
Should be a pretty day regardless of what happens with the blue of the sky deepening each day as the sun recedes to the south farther each day.
Strangely, in the longer, unreliable term, the mods have been forecasting rain in AZ almost every day the last ten days of September, and this has been repeated for several runs. Huh#3.
The End; back to other work.

Thanks, Russ! It was an amazing, kind of singular “presentation.”
