We were not expecting much from today, but we did not get our wish of a happy mesoscale accident. What we got was a bunch of thunderstorms that could not keep up with their cold pools, resulting in storms either killing themselves off, or not staying strong long enough to get a good rotation going.

Today we saw some decent base structures and some swirling motions, but with everything quickly going elevated above various storms’ cold pools, it was a day that was not all that exciting.
