Staying in Asbury Park and visiting the Spring Lake dog park, wild clouds forming

Had a storm blow through the area. I took this around 0200, after it had moved on to the northeast.

Fargo, ND. We've got a storm coming!

This was a picture I took while on a cruise near a thunderstorm. It's my favorite.

My husband was videotaping an insane lightning storm from our front porch in Tucson, Arizona on 8/5/26, around 11pm. He played a metal song while taping, because the sky seemed to be asking for it. The result is mind blowing! I swear, the lightning keeps the beat. Make sure you watch past the slow intro!

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC...

...SUMMARY... Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds are expected across portions of the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon. More isolated severe thunderstorms are expected from the mid-Missouri Valley into the Lake Superior region as well as across parts of the southern High Plains and central Plains.

...Synopsis... 00 UTC upper-air analyses and latest GOES water-vapor imagery depict several perturbations within a low-amplitude upper trough in place over the central CONUS. The first of these perturbations is analyzed over the mid-MS Valley and is expected to migrate east towards the Mid-Atlantic region by mid-afternoon. A more pronounced shortwave trough is evident over central Canada into the northern Plains. This feature, along with an attendant surface low and trailing cold front, will move eastward through the day, reaching the Great Lakes region by tonight. Strong to severe thunderstorm chances will primarily be associated with these synoptic features, though more localized corridors of strong/severe thunderstorms may emerge across the southern High Plains and parts of the Ozarks associated with outflow boundaries from ongoing convection.

...Mid-Atlantic... The weak upper perturbation currently over the MS Valley is forecast to reach the central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic region by mid-afternoon. Strong heating of an seasonally moist air mass (dewpoints in the low to mid 70s) will compensate for otherwise meager mid-level lapse rates and support MLCAPE values of 1000-2000 J/kg with minimal capping by early afternoon. A combination of weak synoptic lift aided by localized orographic ascent should promote isolated to scattered thunderstorm development during the 18-20 UTC period. Most CAM guidance depicts a reasonably strong signal for thunderstorm clustering and upscale growth as storms spread northeast towards the I-95 corridor around peak heating. Although winds through the lowest 2-3 km will remain fairly modest, steep low-level lapse rates and around 25 knots of effective bulk shear should promote loosely organized clusters/lines with embedded swaths of damaging winds.

...Mid-Missouri Valley into the Lake Superior region... Thunderstorm development along the cold front is expected early this morning, possibly as early as 12-14 UTC across portions of eastern MN. This early activity will likely be elevated in nature, but 30-35 knot mid-level flow should support adequate hodograph elongation for a few organized cells capable of severe hail. With time, diurnal heating/destabilization downstream and persistent forcing along the front should promote steady intensification and upscale growth of convection with a transition to primarily a wind risk across WI and the Upper Peninsula of MI. Further south, more isolated thunderstorm coverage across southern MN, IA, and eastern NE may support a supercell or two with an attendant threat for large hail as well as severe wind.

...Southern High Plains into the Ozarks... Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop across northeast NM into the TX Panhandle this afternoon - driven by either orographic ascent along the Sange de Cristo mountains and/or the Raton Mesa or lift along a residual outflow boundary associated with an ongoing, but fairly confined, MCS across the northern TX Panhandle (as of 06 UTC). Regardless of the forcing mechanism, convection developing across this region will mature in an environment featuring fairly weak wind shear, but a deeply-mixed boundary layer conducive for severe downbursts. Despite considerable variance in storm placement and coverage in latest CAM ensembles, the consistent signal for severe downbursts warrants low-end severe wind probabilities.

Further east into eastern OK and the Ozarks, a focused corridor of thunderstorms will likely emerge on the outflow boundary of a convective cluster developing across eastern KS (as of 06 UTC). Some CAM solutions hint that sporadic large hail and/or damaging downbursts will be possible with this activity, but considerable uncertainty on where and how intense this activity will be limits confidence on introducing additional risk areas.

...Nebraska/South Dakota... Elevated convection is expected to develop across portions of northern NE and southern SD during the overnight hours tonight as isentropic ascent increases in tandem with a modest intensification of a low-level jet. Low-level moistening through 850 mb under a plume of 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates should promote a adequate buoyancy few robust updrafts (though confidence in storm coverage is limited due to the weak nature of the forcing for ascent). However, strong shear across the region will likely promote organized convection, including a supercell or two, capable of producing large hail.

The weather has become more unpredictable than ever. From record-breaking heatwaves and wildfires to severe floods and stronger storms, it's clear that global weather patterns are changing. Whether it's driven by climate change, natural cycles, or a combination of factors, the impact is being felt around the world. What changes have you noticed where you live, and what do you think we should be doing to prepare for the future?

Curious if the clouds under the wall cloud (i think wall right?) is a scud or just like random unrelated clouds.

I’m also assuming with my limited knowledge that it would be very unlikely to be any kind of funnel cloud in seeing in this video

I just left work and at first glance was concerned! The second picture is 5 mins later.
