We had a brief interruption of weather monotony yesterday evening in northern Utah with thunderstorms in portions of northern Utah including Utah County, southern and eastern Salt Lake County, Wasatch County, Summit County as illustrated by the radar-estimated precipitation for the 6-hour period ending 0600 UTC 19 July (0000 MDT Saturday).

Northern Salt Lake County, including my place, was largely skunked other than some sprinkles or light showers and gusty winds. We did get a bit of a light show from the lightning, as well as some weakly developed mammatus
In other news, I am enjoying a temporary office-free period as my boxes were moved from the INSCC building to the new Applied Science building late last week, but I still don't have access to the latter. If memory serves correct, I spent 27 of my 30 years at the U in 488 INSCC. I leave behind lots of great memories there, including our old computer teaching lab, interactions with scores of graduate students, weather research and modeling for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, many field campaigns, and a lot of hooting and hollering during exciting weather.
