Time lapse of rotor clouds spinning over the Front Range foothills yesterday, produced by a trapped lee wave. #cowx #wxsky #cofrontrange #colorado #mountainwave

Streamline plot of last night's downslope windstorm on the CO Front Range, inspired by @sambrandtmeteo.bsky.social's visualization of the recent Santa Ana wind event in California. Work in progress!

Unreal paths of damaging winds, east of Everett, WA near Forest Glade, WA #wawx #bombcylone #weather #mountainwave #wind

Can you imagine the combo of a record breaking pacific bomber Low with a colder (higher pressure) E. WA 30-90 days from now?!? Perhaps the infamous 12/24/1983 gap wind storm (100mph+ gusts in Enumclaw) had something closer to that combo.
