Chinook Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Today has some similarities to previous days with very high shear over the southern and central Plains. This time storms are getting going relatively early. The time is 3:35 mountain time and this is a possible tornado and 3" hail near Wray Colorado. I don't know if I trust the CC value on this. I think it's noise and not the CC detecting a tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
