Quarter-Sized Hail

Quarter-sized hail was observed in this quick-moving thunderstorm that moved across the Salt Lake Valley before noon...

Radar 10:45 AM

Camera 10:55 AM

GOES-16 True Color Image and Lightning data 10:43 AM

It looks to me that the lightning data is skewed a little south of there it actually occurred. The center of maximum reflectivity is in the heart of Salt Lake County, but the lightning mapper positioned the flashes along the Salt Lake-Utah county line.

Dusty Day

Strong winds in Utah stirred up a lot of dust

 Wind speeds for time picture was taken

There is a spike in PM 2.5 at the time the winds pick up...

Even ozone pollution reached high levels exceeding NAAQS in a few locations.

Yesterday ozone roses at NAA and MtMet. 

 

Wind Roses speed

 


And just for fun... that bright "star" below the moon is really Mars

Good morning June
