Lovely! I'm assuming that was originally the Purcell cell and is now near Tribbey and Macomb? That's what we're going towards but are currently on the wrong side of it.

Yep tho it might be petering out. We are going to drop south again.

The radar presentation of the storms today are highly reminiscent of those on April 18, with the highly crooked/angular appendages rather than smooth hooks. The meso that was issued earlier has mention of the LLJ coming into play later, so I'll wait on that before I give up on today.
