I should change my reflectivity settings back to -30, I only have it at 10 right now so Im not picking it up...That comma is still holding up a little bit though

This cell is like those found in like hurricanes or something...VILs are low and tops are WAY low

Tornado reported on ground between Frierson and Kingston on amateur radio. Near Kickapoo.

Darn storms are probably getting too close to radar for good velocities but they are getting good rotation visible even so close. Good hook.

Debris balls are higher reflectivities, usually in the lavender on mine, 70+. The debris is higher density. They can be confused with hail-cores but debris balls happen at the end of a hook where there is no hail.

Everything seems to be starting to lose its steam now

Still a hook on Level II radar near Plum Orchard Landing and as I type the update shows intensification. Dr forbes just showed a slice thru the storm. These storms are going to die out later tonight when they move into drier and cooler air. Tomorrow is a zero for severe weather.
ADDED: The tops are low but are probably higher than shown since storms are so close to radar.

Wow! Missed that one! I still cant believe how low these tops are!? BV 0.5 is showing good vortex signature on GRIII

wish i could see the slice on the GRA

(Course, happy what I got)

Tonight was definitely better then expected. They are probably going to have to consider extending that warning south of Minden a little further.

Tonight has been very interesting!! Just looked at the VWP window and it looks very cool where the frontal boundary just moved through in LA...Very awesome this evening!!! Looks like tornado threat is starting to wane a little though

IMADreamer · « **Reply #85 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:45:22 PM »

I'd say that's still producing.

I agree the threat should be ending before too long.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #86 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:49:03 PM »

It sure does from that pic! Just a quick off the wall subject, do u have some kind of cities template on ur gr radar, and did u create ur color table?

This storm is now producing some of the highest tops all afternoon: 47K (Not that high really)

IMADreamer · « **Reply #87 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:52:42 PM »

I'm running the USA national road shapefile. The color tables I'm running I got from GRlevelxstuff.com

IMADreamer · « **Reply #88 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:54:14 PM »

They extended the warning. That thing is completely rain wrapped at this point, can't even tell it's there on BR. Just velocity scans.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #89 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:57:53 PM »

Thanks for sharing! I like that velocity table

And yeah I cant see anything on GR on that storm

IMADreamer · « **Reply #90 on:** November 08, 2011, 07:59:07 PM »

new warning near Galvaston, might have to switch radar locations.

IMADreamer · « **Reply #91 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:08:16 PM »

bah, not going to do it for a little while anyway. The line has to catch up with that top cell then maybe it can do it.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #92 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:31:41 PM »

Down near the Gulf is the place to be now

Everything is rain wrapped now!

Downlinerz2 · « **Reply #93 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:59:04 PM »

I am going to camp out on the tail-end charlie in Sabine Parrish. Has the features.
ADDED: seems to be turning right a bit.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #94 on:** November 08, 2011, 09:09:13 PM »

Im watching the warned cell near Kirbyville..Still looks rainwrapped to me

The VWP shows a lot of different wind directions there above 19K

IMADreamer · « **Reply #95 on:** November 08, 2011, 09:29:41 PM »

Too bad the only warned storm right now is in a bit of a radar hole.

Downlinerz2 · « **Reply #96 on:** November 08, 2011, 10:01:56 PM »

At least I did better than last night. My tale ender and another close behind both went.
Not much in the velocity scans and the structure nothing to look at.
I think all the interesting activity is going to end.
