  Similar terrain and not very far away. This was shot from hidden valley between the town of Maricopa and interstate 8. Shooting north the storm is directly over Maricopa when the time lapse begins. The storm is aimed at the little town of Stanfield which is just out of view stage right.

  I see this on Lake Erie in August, September and October obviously to a bigger extent when we get cold air aloft of a warm Lake Erie clouds will build up like this and and it's common to see 1 cloud like this downpouring and it be a partly sunny day along with downpour from a cloud like this Fairweather Waterspouts can also acure

  I've seen desperate storms taking a whole 5000 ft as an excuse to thunderstorm, but this one is on another level. Must have been a warm area over the sand and moisture in the midlevel alone, that's just my take considering at figuring out that weird very keen thunderstorm. thanks for posting btw, interesting.

• 
  @RyanSeek9 ай бұрын

  Just barely enough moisture in the mid-level to make these thunderstorms instead of garden variety rain storms. And just enough instability in pockets over the lower desert. Storms were more robust over the mountains where they had influence of orographic lift. That's why it was so shocking to get t-storms in May over the valley floor. Too many factors working against it in what is typically one of our driest months of the year. But on rare occasions like this mother nature stirs the pot and gets a good enough recipe for something like we see here. Thanks for the comment, appreciate it!

I have to congratulate you on your monsoon this year with all those awesome lightning shots and of course the incredible "night of the sprites".

  Wow, it didn't even rain. It's cause that's because the government messed with the weather. And now there have been backlashes. It's not working right the way they wanted it to. It's backfire

• 
  @RyanSeek10 ай бұрын

  Trying to control the weather is dangerous game to play. It holds very little hope of success in whatever you hope to achieve and a high probability of backfiring on you and creating an even worse situation. My dad worked for the government (Forest Service) back in the 1960s and he told me a story about them "seeding" the atmosphere over our home area in Northwestern Montana way back in 1964 that resulted in massive flooding and our little town being cut off from the outside world for weeks. That was the year before I was born so I wasn't there to see the flood, but I could see the scars along the river banks on the west side of town when I was growing up. In fact, you can still see them today.

  Super capture Ryan! That sunset moment was a precious one! What's interesting always is the clarity of the desert air. The cloudshapes and the colors stand out even better because of the dry surrounding desert air it seems.

• 
  @RyanSeek10 ай бұрын

  So true Paul! Our environment and atmospheric conditions during the summer are such that our storms look much different than what you see almost anywhere else. We get a lot of virga where the rain falls from the cloud but the air below is so hot and dry that the water droplets evaporate before hitting the ground. So it'll be raining directly over you but you feel nothing other than an occasional rogue drop that might land on your arm briefly before disappearing. The Arizona desert region is of course famous for the colorful sunsets and that is a year around phenomena, not necessarily related to thunderstorms (though the storms do enhance the sunsets significantly if they maintain their structure). Glad you are enjoying my videos and find them as fascinating as I do. See you on the next video which is coming soon!

  They are single cell storms right?

• 
  @RyanSeek11 ай бұрын

  One larger single cell storm (the one NWS tagged as severe) and then several smaller cells training after the big one. It was more a line of storms like along a dry line as opposed to an organized cluster of cells which are fairly common during monsoon. Training of storms rarely happens during monsoon. Generally once and area has had activity the atmosphere is used up (turned over to use weather geek lingo) for the rest of that day at least.

  That's impressive! The horizontal winds near the surface at abt 1:05 must have been crazy. I've seen a few video's on youtube about these microbursts, also in Arizona. One of them ocurred in San Tan Valley. Can be pretty scary once you find yourself in the middle of it.

  Yeah, you can see in the video that the wind was moving my camera during filming. And that's with a large rock in a hammock hanging off my tripod to keep it steady!

  @RyanSeek11 ай бұрын

  I thank you, Sir! When reviewing the footage I had complied the latter half of July it was clear that I needed to create a separate video just featuring the colors and clouds of sunrise and sets as I had quite a bit of quality material to work with. The storms have been very late in developing so far this monsoon, with minimal daytime activity. Instead they've initiated late afternoon and early evening when they are just hitting full stride around sunset, providing more than average filming opportunities with cloud structure still intact. Under normal conditions when storms start generating in early afternoon, the sky just becomes cloud soup by the time sunset rolls around and it's not very photogenic. So the abnormal behavior of the late developing storms has provided a unique opportunity to film more interesting activity at sunset when the colors are on display. The downside is I have less mid-day footage to work with this monsoon, but you learn to roll with the punches when you are chasing the weather! Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Another video will be unleashed tomorrow featuring nothing but night storms and lightning!

  Indeed. Here in southern Arizona specifically, most of our monsoon moisture this time of year comes from the Gulf of Mexico as opposed to Eastern Pacific. That will change as the monsoon wears on however. Late August to mid-September our moisture more frequently tends to come up from your neck of the woods.

  Thank you, Paul! I very much appreciate your kind words. It is true that the wide open landscape of the Arizona desert makes viewing and filming these storms so much easier. Most of the storms are over the mountains but I rarely chase those due to limited visibility. If I do target those storms I wait in the foothills for them to come down off the mountains if the steering flow is my direction. I am fascinated by storms and making time lapse of them really displays the incredible motion of these wonders of nature. I film them for me but I share them with you and anyone else who can appreciate the awesomeness of thunderstorms. And, of course, there's the night lightning which is exhilarating and even a tad bit dangerous to capture, and I enjoy that more than anything! Appreciate your support and see you around at the next video hopefully.

Although there have been a select few opportunities over the past several years, I've had terrible luck in trying to reach them. Everything from mechanic breakdowns to health issues to road closures have waylaid previous attempts to get snow on the saguaros. But not this time! I was there on location before daybreak and started filming immediately knowing the snow wasn't going to last very long! Take care, Paul, and thanks. I appreciate the comments. See you around.
