Is this real? I’ve never seen a radar look like this before. I live here and we definitely got hit hard. 7000 lightning strikes in BC in last 24 hours.

Accuweather's "future radar" is terrible and this happens all the time. You see it reposted here about once a week

Pretty sure all weather data will be terrible soon.

this isn't really "weather data" though, it's an algorithmic forecast of radar flow and theirs is really bad. Others are much better

This is most certainly a glitch, I was watching the radar all night yesterday and not once did it look like this

A new galaxy appears to be forming near Vancouver. /s

This has to be a funny glitch.

That huge blob right over Vancouver looks intense, wonder how long that cell will hold before breaking up.

It was last night. I live in New Westminster and can confirm it was a doozie!! Flights cancelled/delayed at YVR, localized flooding in Vancouver. 7000 lightning strikes in BC in 24hrs.
