Video from just north of Colfax, WA earlier today. The visibility went down to zero very quickly. Frightening experience especially coming up on someone who had stopped in the middle of the road! #DustStorm #wawx @NWSSpokane

June thunderstorms are still the best. Once we get to July, I start worrying more about wildfires. #wawx #Spokane

I took a chance and headed to Eastern Washington yesterday (despite the SPC downgrade) and got a giant shelf and a single CG for my efforts! I didn’t expect structure so was super excited when I popped over a hill and saw this large storm over Worley, ID. #idwx #wawx

Gorgeous shelf cloud passing over #Spokane #wawx #thunderstorm

A strange, and odd weather pattern is about to play out over the next several days. In this new blog post we talk about what this will mean as we head into next week, and how the pattern ties into Canada and their active wildfires. https://t.co/ypqo1xYCFL #wawx #idwx

Daughter number 2 taking in the view….hoping for lightning.

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

Spring thunderstorms in #Spokane are the best. No wait…having teens that get just as excited as me is the best!! #wawx

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

Things got a little bubbly out there for a little bit around #Spokane @iflyspokane I’m guessing this Delta flight felt it during their approach. #wawx

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

Spring snow is no match for the spring sun angle! I got a kick out of watching the slush slide off the roof @NWSSpokane #wawx #Spokane #timelapse

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

Graupel during the day, snow in the evening. Happy April 2! #wawx ##Spokane

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

I think I post a slow-mo graupel video every spring. I’m obviously a fan. #wawx #Spring #Spokane It’s straight up snowing now at 35° @NWSSpokane

I’ve seen a lot of wildlife doing cool things, especially during my 8 years in Alaska. But capturing this moment @NWSSpokane feels like a once in a lifetime kinda thing. So cool!!! #nature #wildlife

This is what community preparedness looks like!! I was honored to present at one of the best attended LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Committee) meetings in Washington or North Idaho. Pend Oreille County should be very proud of their leadership. #wawx #WCMLife

Big ole Alaska Butterflies just south of #Spokane #wawx Too tempting to not try and catch a few.

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

So thankful for the group of women @NWSSpokane for all that they contribute and their unique perspectives. It's one of the many reasons that Spokane is the best office in the @NWS! #InternationalWomensDay

Good morning Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds! Northeast of #Spokane #wawx looking toward #Idaho. I saw some earlier this week so something about this weather pattern. Love it!

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

@FOXWeatherDesk Go for it. I took this video. Feel free to share.

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

Not too unusual for March 2 but still a pretty chilly start to the day for #Spokane #wawx brrrrrr @NWSSpokane

[Andy Brown @otxwcm]

@WeatherNation @NWSSpokane Sure thing.
