Lightening, Thunder, Hail, Rain... May in Colorado


Once again most of the area is seeing some pretty strong afternoon showers and thunderstorms. I wanted to post an image of the radar just before 4pm today and which shows this quite well. In general the storms are moving in from the southwest, moving northeast across the city.

In addition to some soaking rains, the lightening associated with these cells have been impressive in an of themselves. Places in south Denver (Wash Park) even reported some hail earlier this afternoon.

...the power just went out here for a quick minute...

I tried to catch some of the impressive lightening strikes on video... but I don't think that it does it justice at all. Give it a listen!
