Re: March 15 Tornado Outbreak
      Thu May 29 2008 03:34 AM

A friend and I chased the outbreak in GA on March 15th...made it up to the I-20 corridor and followed a few tornado-warned cells but never did see anything produce in that regard. By the time we got up there, the greater tornado threat had shifted into SC anyway. Tons of directional shear with the zonal mid-tropospheric flow plus ample instability for March led to some very healthy updrafts, though, leading to a ton of hail. We stopped for about 30-45 minutes in Hillsboro, GA playing around in 1-2" deep hail and hail fog. All in all, well worth the trip -- often severe weather in this region isn't such prolific with regards to hail.
