The red X is my house. There are small, pop-up, storm cells all around us. If I walk out on the front porch and look towards the house to the east, it's raining. If I look to the house to the west, it's not raining. There is no rain on my house right now, but these little cells kind of meander around instead of having a distinct direction of travel. It may rain on me, but then again, it may not.

Happens all the time out here by my home, almost all storms go across the river from me without dropping anything on me...

Yep. It happens here quite a bit. This was just the first time since we moved in this house that it was quite that dramatic. I usually see that it's raining north of the lake, but not on the town. This little storm used my yard as the east/west dividing line. Not long after I posted that image, I stepped to the front door and noticed my yard and house were getting wet, but the house to my west was still dry. It's funny the way that happens.

Talk about weird. This is classic "popcorn showers" weather. Whats weird about it is the different outflow boundaries that there are. If you look closely, you can count at least 6 different ones and they are going in all different directions. FYI, an outflow boundary, also known as a gust front, is a boundary formed by the horizontal spreading of thunderstorm-cooled air. Basically it is air that rushes down to the surface of the Earth, then is forced outward when it hits the ground. This image shows them very well. Yeah, I know. It has nothing to do with modeling or cars. I use to be a NWS observer and storm chaser. I still get excited seeing unusual weather events.

Yes, it is. Just about 15 minutes ago, one of those little pop showers turned ugly right over us. Didn't last long and no damage around the neighborhood, but there was some wind and lightning for a short bit.
