Right now the area around Shushwap Lake (Revelstoke/Salmon Arm) is getting pummeled by monstrous positive cloud-to-ground strikes. We're talking 100 kA+. I've never seen anything like this in BC before. The thunder must be otherworldly.

The displayed time zone is Central Time, so minus two hours.

That's impressive. Hopefully associated with copious amounts of rain.

Some altocumulus streaming overhead here this afternoon. Often a good sign of some convection possibilities later on.

The heat is trying to rebuild hardcore after this week. Enjoy the break while you can. Maybe it'll collapse again like this week..
