ANOTHER WARM-UP IS ON THE WAY AS A LARGE STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES... STILL NO SIGN OF PROLONGED COLD WEATHER
Is there such a thing as Heat Lightning?
No, there is no such thing as heat lightning. What many folks call heat lightning is simply lightning from a very distant thunderstorm illuminating and reflecting off of the dust particles in the atmosphere over the observer. Unless there is a volcanic eruption nearby, lightning can only be present where precipitation is forming.
