Video from #SpaceNeedle #NewYears fireworks🎆: fireworks peeking out of the smoke & clouds was typical of the remainder of the show. #NYE #NewYears2024

Video from #SpaceNeedle #NewYears fireworks🎆: hints of fireworks in the clouds, then fireworks from the ground. #NYE #NewYears2024

Video from #SpaceNeedle #NewYears fireworks🎆: the show quickly got obscured in its own smoke, probably accelerated by 100% relative humidity from nearby coastal stratus. #NYE #NewYears2024

My video from #SpaceNeedle #NewYears #drone light show - drones count down to 2024 and fireworks🎆 begin. #NYE #NewYears2024

Video from #SpaceNeedle #NewYears #drone light show - Flying saucer over Mt Rainier - probably a reference to the lenticular clouds which often form above the mountain during mountain-wave wind conditions. #weather #NYE #NewYears2024

Video of start of #SpaceNeedle #drone light show at 9 minutes to midnight. #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024

Here's a video with a sample of the periodic #SpaceNeedle light shows before the fireworks. Also a plane flew by high above on approach to Sea-Tac Int'l Airport #KSEA. #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024 #avgeek

The proximity of the fog/stratus (100% relative humidity) probably accelerated the fireworks getting partly obscured in their own smoke. But it was still a good show worth the effort to see in person. #weather #SpaceNeedle #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024

The #drone show at the #SpaceNeedle before the midnight fireworks was low enough to stay below the incoming coastal stratus clouds. In this sample, flying saucer over Mt Rainier, then the saucer morphs into a replica of the Space Needle. #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024

So far so good as the coastal stratus keeps its distance. 15 minutes to midnight. #SpaceNeedle #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024

Coastal fog rolling in... currently it's enhancing #SpaceNeedle's upward-facing spotlights. Let's hope it doesn't come in too low too soon. 30 minutes to midnight. #weather #NYE #NewYears #NewYears2024
