WOW…we’ve got lightning in the #WildcatFire now. This is a pyrocumulonimbus cloud, and the fire is rapidly growing. Extraordinary. #wawx

5:40 PM view from the Crystal Mountain live camera. The #WildcatFire is showing very active fire behavior, with a pyrocumulus cloud ongoing for 3+ hours. The fire is listed at 1,000 acres, but is likely far larger than that now. #wawx

Really worrying to see the #Wildcatfire headed towards the the PCT and Chinook Pass - I hate to see this one explode in one of my favorite places in the Cascades. We need rain ASAP. #wawx

We’re seeing pyrocumulus plumes off the #WildcatFire, east of Mt. Rainier, and the #LaborMountainFire, north of Cle Elum this Friday afternoon. Some of this smoke, blowing NW, is rapidly degrading AQI around parts of Seattle and Lake Washington. #wawx

Así se veía el estado de Washington🇺🇸 desde el GOES-19 ayer a última hora de la tarde. Totalmente cubierto por el humo de decenas de incendios forestales. Destaca el inmenso pirocumulonimbus #PyroCb del #WildcatFire que podría perfectamente haber alcanzado los 13K metros de altitud:
