SouthernNJ Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Cell just south of Crystal City has some big time mid level rotation, at about 13,000 feet. This one also was a left-split. Has to be close to a warning I would believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 TW'd cell heading right for San Antonio. Everything down there is starting to rotate now. took it some time but its finally getting impressive after throwing off that left split earlier, which also threw off a left split of its own.

thewxmann Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 SAT reporting 76/69 with ESE winds. The OFB has slowed its southward progression on the tail-end of the line, indicative of a strengthening LLJ and sfc wind vectors backing to nearly orthogonal to the boundary.

NavyMatt Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I appreciate the updates, everyone. My wife and I will be watching closely - we are on the NE side of San Antonio in the path of the TOR warned cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyMatt Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got a garage for the cars? At the least you may get some very large hail. Nope, we live in an apartment complex. In fact, the best area to go to is a wide open room in the middle of our apartment (bordered by another unit) in an interior corner. Nothing better than that, unfortunately. Bathroom and closets all border exterior walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That first left split (that is now exiting Bandera County) has the most impressive updraft going on visible satellite. Huge overshooting top casting a shadow on the anvil. Also if you loop a hi-res visible satellite, you can see the TOR warned supercell has an updraft that builds south and east with time. You expect to see the right turn with radar images, but it's impressive to see it on satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QVectorman Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 If that cell southwest of S. Antonio can't produce a tornado I will have lost faith in all composite indices and SR Helicity parameters LOL. Everything is primed down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Is there any confirmation of TOG for the cell southwest of San Antonio? Has its couplet maintained? There hasn't been any word of any TOG, and the rotation is broad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
