(1) The radiosonde did not hit the ground towards the end of the video. (2) More importantly, this data is directly fed into weather models that help to predict weather downstream, like for the midwest blizzard occurring right now.

- Thunderstorms brought heavy rains to western Nevada on Tuesday July 8 2014, with radar estimates of nearly 1 to 2 inches of rain per hour. We setup our timelapse camera ahead of the storms to see what we could capture. The images start at 230 pm and are every 30 seconds. Here are the results! Quite a potpourri of weather -- ranging from wet microburst rain cores descending on Reno/Sparks, to clouds indicating a wind shift from moist south/southeast to a drier westerly flow as the storms ended. There's a nice sunset treat toward the end as the clouds break and see if you can spot the moon!

- Description
- Dry microbursts from nearby thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 71 mph in the Reno/Sparks area around 6 PM July 1, 2014. This timelapse was taken from 2 to 7 PM with images every 30 seconds. A super dry airmass below the clouds with humidity of only 5-8% contributed to an environment favorable for microbursts. Microbursts are downward directed pulses of wind from thunderstorms that slam into the ground producing intense winds that can result in damage. View in 720p HD mode.
