A thunderstorm in April? 

Hey this was very great footage and I've watched all of it lol I love storms and this right here may definitely be one of my top three favorite storms captured on RU-vid so thanks for posting this!

Here in Wisconsin, we had a severe thunderstorm along with a tornado the first week in March. And yes it was in the big city. In the suburbs surrounding Milwaukee. We too never see warm weather in April so chances are of having a thunderstorm in April are slim to none. But you got some cool video of the lightning.

There was thunder and lightning in NY, NorthEastern USA in January, February, and March in the same year. (2016). Mild temperatures too.

North Dakota has had thunderstorms in April once and it’s crazy lol

i watched it all that was some amazing lightening :)

To understand why you saw a night thunderstorm in the NWT, you need to know the reality of the climate, the geography, and the weather conditions together. You have many mountains in the Yukon, so that greatly helps with the instability factor. You noticed your area warmed up significantly. But where did the wind come from? From the south or the west? If it came from the south, that would mean a very strong low pressure system entered your region with lots of wind in it. Or perhaps a fairly strong high pressure system was passing by to your south, pushing up all that warmer air into your area. If the strong wind came from the west, that would be a chinook wind (or whatever you canucks out there call it) blowing out from the Rockies mountain range, compressing the air, warming the ground so quickly, blowing the warmer wind out to your area, and converging with a wind coming from a different direction. Then these 2 different winds were strongly forced to rise up and in the process, created an active thunderstorm. That's why it is rare to see a thunderstorm where you are in the wrong time of the year, when it's still cold and snow and ice are everywhere.

Spectacular!!!

Unbelievable
