West Seattle weather: Yes, that’s a thunderstorm. Plus, advisory ahead

Yes, that’s a thunderstorm heading this way. Several people have mentioned seeing and hearing it (thanks to MetPatrick for first word); the National Weather Service has a “short-term forecast” about it, too. It won’t last long but there’s more stormy weather on the way, according to the NWS, which has a “Special Weather Statement” for bouts of strong wind and heavy rain, starting Tuesday night.

I saw the whole sky light up behind the clouds heading south on I405 on my way to West Seattle last night, but it didn’t just light up like normal lightning, it was bright green, & it flashed for almost 2 full seconds the first time. About 10 seconds after that it flashed again, starting out white, but it turned green as it flickered. I haven’t seen green lightning since I was a kid. What causes that? It looked awesome!

Sorry, comment time is over.
