A Thunderstorm is Brewing...


Most of you know about the Tuesday ritual - Dunkin Donuts at the beach.  There is another, less frequent ritual.  This one is on Sunday nights, after we have pasta for dinner.  Sunday is always pasta!  We go to McDonald's for ice cream cones.  So we did that tonight, and as we rounded the building we caught sight of these clouds in the northwest.  There had been thunderstorms in the forecast for today, but I thought we missed them.  I checked my radar app on my phone, and sure enough there was a cold front in the northwest that was moving toward us and on the app, there was a solid line of red, which shows the heaviest convective activity, which means a lot of rain.  So I took this photo and got home before the rain started, and fortunately it wasn't heavy rain.- there was an opening in the cold front and the heaviest rain was just a bit north of us!  But what beautiful clouds!

I thought "Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti Day" :-) Didn't know you ate spaghetti every Sunday.
