CRP Desk-Tornadic Supercells 2:08 PM

Several supercells have developed this afternoon along CRP’s northern CWA, in addition to an isolated tornadic supercell a few miles southwest of Corpus Christi.  At least 2 tornadoes have already been reported with the north eastern most storm, and the isolated storm near the coast.  The 0.5 degree reflectivity can be seen below on the left.  On the right, the top left panel shows the composite updraft maximum, the top right contains the max vorticity through the lowest 3 km, the bottom left is the reflectivity at -20C (very large hail with the one near Corpus Christi), and the bottom right the MESH.  The 3DVAR products on the right are about 5 minutes before the radar image.
