A foggy start to a severe weather day here in WA. A few bolts already kicking up on the Olympic Peninsula, but looking forward to the main show later this afternoon!

According to NWS Portland: “Here is a photo of the #waterspout that prompted the Special Marine Warnings earlier, just off the coast of the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington. 🌪️

A few good moments from the Plains this past season! I learned a LOT, saw pretty things, hung out with some super nice people, and didn't die. Really couldn't have asked for more. #stormchasing #thegreatplains
