I will note these storms are showing signs of intensification. I'm a bit surprised. I was pessimistic past orh. Seeing wind even picking up on Northern side of the cells.
I suspect the reason why we see solid storms in the morning pre-dawn hours is often a strong indication things are unstable upstairs. Before big events there is almost always a flurries of posts about surprisingly loud boomers in their slumber. Add that inferred energy upstairs to what may form as surface based instability... And boom
Think thundersnow... That's technically elevated
I'm thinking of live streaming the event from my back patio with hourly updates, with one mixed drink or beer required per report. Continues until I can no longer go.
