Quick report
- Cracking
- widespread
Wednesdays storm brought the first significant event to the eastern part of the zone in a while. Although wind slabs formed that evening, the avi problem was relatively shallow and did not produce a large scale cycle. JDL seems to be getting buried deeper in this zone as well and harder to find.
Observed active loading and cracking in the afternoon.Weather
- Cloud Cover
- obscured
Few clouds in the am with calm winds. By mid day the storm came in along with moderate to strong SE-E-NE winds and precip.
