(why can't we get that here?!). I saw that with all the respect in the world! I'm so used to us finding a way to fail at just about any sensible weather that I doubt anything is legit until it's on our doorstep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best EML, but 6.6 C/km 850-500 should do the job to have some solid overnight storms (for once)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocturnal tstm development is a different animal than daytime. Very quick development and not always apparent where exactly it will fire. Lots of surprises.
