I want to believe! Need the AI models to get on board. And the for the GFS to even get remotely close. The GFS shows a non-stop storm train.

Seeking shelter from the hail as the core of the storm went through IMG_4595.mov

Hmmmm…liking 80 degrees and sun in the summertime doesn’t seem like normal behavior to me… On a serious note this spring hasn’t been too bad. Little on the warm and more so dry since March but atleast we’ve gotten some rain from time to time. Just hoping we aren’t bone dry.

Right place but unfortunately tornado came down behind the rain curtain minutes later. Reed Timmer of course just punched through the core and reported it. They also went into hail field. The picture with the wall cloud did fail us . Both storms were side by side. The tornado produced in the other photos was heading right at us so we retreated to a gas station to find cover from hail and get out of the way of the tornado in case it held together. Was cool to have Reed chasing the same cell and on the same road a couple miles away. added photo of Reed showing the hail from this storm

That’s an interesting stat. If I lived in Olympia, maybe I’d care. Unfortunately, I live in the Portland metro.
