While the environmental factors at play proved to make a disappointing show, this unique experience emphasizes the importance of weather in event planning. It’s worth saying though I was not disappointed from a meteorological perspective! 5/5)
Wanted to share a cool thing that happened two nights ago where fireworks and weather collided. The firework show in Rehoboth Beach, DE was among one of the smokiest I’ve ever seen with smoke obscuring much of the show itself as it spread out low toward the boardwalk (1/5) #DEwx
Once cooler the smoke could no longer remain elevated, experiencing a repelling buoyant force. Additionally, RH > 90% at the time per SPC Hourly Mesoanalysis observations, allowed the smoke to appear thicker and settle towards the ground as it spread horizontally (4/5).
A mesmerizing sight off the Delmarva coast today. This waterspout was captured just 100 yards off the beach on the Maryland side of Assateague.
