Just a quick question. Does anyone know of any websites to look at radars in Mexico? Im curious to see those supercells that come of the mountains into South and West Texas while they are still in Mexico.

I guess the lack of large areas of population convinced the government to just ignore that area. Aww well, I guess Ill have to settle for the West Texas ones.

I assume you're familiar with this writeup on the SPC website - http://www.spc.noaa.gov/coolimg/del_rio/index.html
The Mexican supercells that often form off the mountains south of the U.S. border are well within range of the radar at Laughlin AFB (Del Rio). It would be nice to have closer radars though. Too bad they can't take a DOW truck down there.. I have a feeling if they tried it would get stuck in the mud!

I've heard a couple stories from people who know people that used to hike in that area of Mexico. Heard that you can see a lot of the land had scour marks trailing to the east. I'm sure over the years there have been some monsterous tornadoes in that area. Some good moisture usually makes it there on the big southern setups and the mountains probably create some insane localized helicity. If it wasn't for the tension and drug cartels, I'd probably make that area of Mexico a bucket list item.
