With only one system coming through that has produced thunderstorms here in Grand Rapids I was able to capture several lightning shots.  There were several storms during the day but there was little to no structure.  We did manage to get 1 inch hail and close to Kalamazoo they had 2 inch hail that did heavy damage to homes.

It was nice to sit in an open field and watch a weak storm produce some lightning.  I was only able to capture one near Middleville, MI, and capture three or so back at my apartment when another round of storms came through around 2am.  It seems that the lightning is always north of my apartment and i never catch any good ones.   Any way here are the one i came a way with from that night. Nothing to fantastic but still really nice to see.

Announced by Rich Thompson the other day, a format update for the meso analysis page will be coming in March. To test the updated version visit this link

I really like the fluidity of this newer look. After visiting the page for no more than five minutes I became very comfortable with its use. It is very user friendly. I look forward to using this coming up this spring.
