Southern cell in the line with well developed wall cloud


And what appears to be a nice funnel on right edge of wall cloud almost hidden in the rain (looks like one to me!)...

Nice rain core on the southern cell as it moves East through Maple Grove (view from the S looking N)

Entire base was rotating anti-cyclonically. Rotation was clearly defined & visible for ~ 15 minutes.

A ragged, rotating wall cloud developed under the rotating base.


Beautiful leading edge of the cell (looking NE)


While cell maintained anti-cyclonic rotation, there appeared to be a weak funnel

Possible funnel before cell became outflow dominant with the rest of the line

SCUD bomb!! It's all outflow from here.... cool and refreshing

Anvil at sunset

Beautiful, fun chase and only 5 minutes from home!
