Hello,
Earlier this week, in April 8th, some severe storms developed in a very unstable environment (CAPE ~3000j/kg, LI -6) with a "enough" amount of medium level lapse rates (6.5-7). These storms caused small hail, heavy rains and strong winds.
I was able to capture a couple of gustnados that formed along the gustfront.

At the moment of this scan, Max refl. was at 60dbz in that stronger cell, (the one to the right in the video) with the 60dbz core going all the way up to 5km and VIL was at 32kgm-2.
