Just shockingly amazing… It was a crazy lightning show tonight around the East Bay! This was around Livermore, CA at the parking lot areas of the San Francisco Premium Outlets. Talk about crazy weather lately for this month of September so far… (Monday evening, September 11, 2017)
Weather update – Unusual thunderstorm outbreak for California for the week of (2017) September 10:
A slow-moving cut-off low pressure area was setting up off the SoCal coast & has the potential to bring some very active weather to parts of the state over the next 5 days. On Monday & Tuesday, the storm threat was to shift northward from SoCal to encompass the rest of Cali including the Bay Area.
It all started with strong wind gusts between 35-50 mph that roared thru Monterey County and parts of the South Bay in the early morning hours. Later, temps climbed to the 90s in San Jose. Then finally came the rain, thunder & lightning. The NWS tweeted out that the Bay Area saw more than 800 lightning strikes & cloud flashes between noon and 5 p.m.! About 7,000 flashes lit up the sky across the Bay Area Monday night along with CG strikes. In an unusual display of meteorological madness, Mother Nature had doused parts of the Bay Area with brief heavy rain Monday night & zapped some spots with lightning while leaving other areas untouched. A low-pressure area hanging out over the Pacific had delivered the t-storms, which rumbled thru the Bay Area starting in the late afternoon & early evening in the South Bay and later moved northward towards SF. While this weather may have seemed weird, NWS meteorologist Anna Schneider, said it’s only a tad unusual. “We’re starting to approach that time of year when this kind of weather is more common,” she said. The t-storms were forecast to stick around thru Tuesday night. Temps were expected to drop Tuesday then start warming up again once the t-storms depart. Warmer, drier weather was expected to return to the region by the upcoming weekend…
