Video of flash flooding and accumulated hail in Grand Rapids, MI last night. Don’t know how to embed the video.
I think the lake breeze might have helped it turn right. As soon as it did it was back in action. The low level jet ramped up by 5-10mph or so also at the time. I’m sure there will be studies.
Copious small hail (covering the ground up to 1”) and major flash flooding in downtown Grand Rapids. This elevated supercell also produced the biggest gravity wave signature I have ever seen on radar. Too bad it was dark.
Yea, it’s 38 degrees here and there was a raging thunderstorm with continuous lightning copious amounts of small hail. Crazy inversion with 60 degrees temps surging in aloft.
I think the lingering remnants of the Lake Michigan lake breeze helped steer it right. Hard to tell exactly, but the right turn really helped it blow up.
