It's happened in Florida and, more frequently, in Alaska. <br /><br />In Alaska, the fires are huge, producing tremendous heat, and the upper atmosphere is sometimes chilly enough for the contrast of the heat from the fire and the temperatures aloft to cause a convective thunderstorm.<br /><br />--Paul, http://cloudyandcool.comPaul Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175293982146221983noreply@blogger.com
