SmokeEater Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Looks like it to me. radar.png Lightning isn't decreasing, if anything it's increasing. Tops and DBZ aren't dropping either. Not saying they're ridiculously severe, but definitely not dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nice to hear the lightning reports to the west. Makes me think something still might happen in a little bit. Probably not severe, but I like a good thunderstorm just because and want the rain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'm no pro, but the water vapor image looks interesting. Looks like the mid levels are starting to get a little more moist. Looks like a nice piece of energy still out in WV also. I think we may get rocked at about 4am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
