Here’s an update from my side of the world. It’s currently spring here in South Africa and the height of the storm season. I’ve missed a couple of good days because of work commitments, but on Friday I managed to get out to chase. So far we’ve been having lots and lots of storms like this.
It’s low shear, high instability stuff. Not exactly Monsters of the Plains or anything really rotating, as yet. I’ve attached a radar view of the storm at the time the pics were taken. You can see as it approaches Johannesburg from the south. There’s a 60 dbz core which is probably a reflection of the hail within. On the north side there’s a hook where one would expect to find a tornado on this side of the world , but I assure you there wasn’t a tornado on this storm
It went on to close down the international airport and flash flood parts of the city. The airport is within the blue circle on the radar display.
Hopefully some hard rotating stuff will appear soon.
