RCNYILWX Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Even if they don't exist, which I would disagree with their questioning, there is evidence of strong damage that occurs from these enhanced pockets of shear. The problem is severe warnings in a squall line don't carry the same weight as a tornado warning.I agree, 100 mph is very strong wording in a SVR, but a TOR and 100 mph gets more attention. Just that radar signature alone, I don't know how you can hold off from issuing a TOR on it with such a prominent hook echo on reflectivity and strong rotation on velocity. Anyone with enough radar savvy would be right to wonder the difference between seeing the hook in that qlcs and others and on supercells and how one would get a SVR and the other a TOR.

Stebo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A few sups from San Antonio down towards Eagle Pass... The north side of San Antonio got crushed with some huge hail, dBZ of 65-70 up to 18000' as it passed north of the city. Twitter has a few pictures already coming in of what looks like 3-4" hail stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 San Antonio metro demolished. 3-3.5" reports coming in over an amazingly wide N-S swath. Wow, we really dodged one here in Austin. Looks to be some heavy rain where I am and that's it-we need the rain anyway. That cell looked ferocious when it crossed the north side of town.
