interesting situation today friday 11 july, with a slight chance for tornado in or near the swiss/french Lake Geneva area...
european storm prediction center http://estofex.org/
they currently give it a cat. 1 ( equiv. to Slight SPC) but I think they will upgrade it later to 2.
french weather service gives it an orange colour, equiv to a Moderate.

swiss weather service has a yellow warning out , may upgrade later

and here is a pretty good radar animation :

this is "predictive" radar, the last frame shows where the rain will occur within the next 10 minutes. pretty good for chasing. The mountains and forests here are beautiful, but for chasing storms they are a true pain in the bxxx ... I miss Amarillo ;-)
plus, we will run into friday evening rush hour traffic out of Geneva... Yikes ! This is gonna be fun... My dream would be to see a nice tornadic waterspout in Lake Geneva.
If I get lucky to see some good stuff I will send live images or video here

Time Zone difference : I am 7 hours ahead of Amarillo.
