OT, but weather relevant.

Hails probably melting if the airmass is tropical...but you're in for a beating. I think the area's under a severe thunderstorm watch. A shelf cloud? Are you dealing with mesocyclone?




Not enough weather knowledge to know the answer.

When it rolled in there was that dark wedge shaped cloud stretching across the sky, with lighter greenish clouds behind it.

It's rolling through extremely fast and I think after a little rainstorm and some gusts it'll be done real soon. Didn't see any hail after all and I think maybe the main part of the cell slid by just north of where live.

I took a couple photos. What I can do is create another blog on blogger and put them there, and then come back and post the URL - it will take me a minute. Then you can tell me what you think.

OK here it is:

Pretty undefined for something with such high DBZ's...The greenish hue is most likely due to a hail shaft, but due to the shear heat the hail melts before it reachs the ground. Overall nice...
