Quincy Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Awfully messy storm mode in far eastern TX and adjacent far western LA, but there are some gradual signs of better organization. I was on the tornado warned cluster by Logansport earlier. Very low scuddy cloud bases (<100m) and visible low level rotation, but that was about it. Looks like a narrow window for anything discrete and chasesble out west and the better chase play appears to be central to northeast LA given terrain and the looks of the supercell near Forest Hill. Not to mention the parameter space advecting NE from southern LA is high end climatologically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
