WATCH: Check out the formation of a pyrocumulonimbus cloud above the bushfire at Sedgerley (north of Inglewood) on Monday in this timelapse. The footage shows intense fire behaviour which leads to the development of a cloud above the fire, known as a pyrocumulus. This has a feedback effect on the fire, leading to difficult firefighting conditions on the ground. Because the clouds above the fire are in unstable air, it triggers a thunderstorm, complete with lightning. This fire-induced thundersto

The Wildcat Fire east of Mount Rainier is producing a pyrocumulonimbus cloud ("pyro" = fire) producing LIGHTNING! This happens occasionally with very vigorous fires and strong upward motion. It creates it's own "thunderstorm"! | Morgan Palmer

WEATHER UPDATE: An explosive pyrocumulonimbus cloud on the Wildcat Fire in Yakima County yesterday sent smoke nearly 40k feet in the air! Unfortunately, this is just one of many fires creating smoky scenes around the Inland Northwest. Air quality concerns will likely exist for the next several days as a result. In addition to the smoke, it's going to be another hot one out there on this Thursday. - Meteorologist Jefferson Donovan | KEPR Action News

Visible satellite captured a fairly rare pyrocumulonimbus cloud in the Washington Cascades over the Wildcat fire just east of Mount Rainier Wednesday afternoon. A pyrocumulonimbus cloud forms as hot air from a fire rapidly rises, causing a strong updraft. If there's moisture in the atmosphere (like there was today) then clouds and even rain and lightning can form. If the resulting cloud doesn't cause thunderstorm activity, then it's simply called a "pyrocumulus" cloud. The ingredients for this p

The Wildcat fire has produced its own thunderstorm, meaning it has produced a pyrocumulonimbus cloud! This means the fire induced thunderstorm could begin to produce dangerous localized conditions, with downdraft winds that could quickly spread flames. Lightning could also start other nearby fires. | Washington Weather Chasers

A fire burning near Walpeup has created its own thunderstorm today, as seen via satellite imagery. This pyrocumulonimbus cloud is now causing lightning near Hopetoun. ⚡️ These fire-induced thunderstorms are dangerous because their lightning can ignite new fires. A Watch and Act is in place for this fire. Get the latest details at https://emergency.vic.gov.au/ | Weatherzone
