It was a chilly morning across the West Virginia high country, as the valley floor of Canaan Valley dropped down to 22 degrees! 🥶

This valley is a textbook cold sink with combining its bathtub topography, allows air to drain from the slopes and pool at the bottom on cool, calm, and clear nights.

Thunderstorms have overtaken portions of Western Washington tonight, particularly by the Cascades in King and Pierce counties.

This is no typical anvil cloud, it’s the anvil cloud from unusual pyrocumulonimbus activity stemming from the #WildcatFire.

Last night, @markstewarr.bsky.social and I decided to full send it to the Olympic coastline to try our luck at capturing bioluminescence.

While it wasn’t super bright, this was my first time ever seeing such a phenomenon and it was amazing to see! #wawx
