Rather disorganized wallcloud feature on a high-based supercell near Truscott, TX on April 1, 2013.

<b>Alfalfa Funnel </b>Storms began to develop over SC and WC Oklahoma around noon March 21, 2012 as clear skies allowed for low level heating under cold air aloft. The storm that produced this funnel organized SSW of Alfalfa, Oklahoma and as it strengthened organized a rather well-defined mesocyclone. Shortly after 1:30 pm about 5 miles W of Alfalfa it produced this funnel which lasted 10 minutes or so and appeared to touch down briefly. The ground was very wet, so there wasn't much dust, but I observed weeds, grass and other debris in a ground circulation even though the tornado never fully condensed.Genehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05975214527929592823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6012832983363942397.post-71206046817025743022014-10-23T13:24:00.001-07:002014-10-23T13:24:32.029-07:00Storm Photo of the Day 10/23/14<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cell began to develop at a dryline - frontal intersection near Stamford and moved quickly NE toward the Throckmorton area where it made a hard right turn and went tornado warned. No tornadoes witnessed, although there may have been a funnel cloud before the warning was issued. We were a bit too far from the wall-cloud to say for sure. We did encounter some quarter-sized hail later on E of Woodson with a few golf balls and tennis balls thrown in! All three photos below were shot from a position S of Throckmorton on US 183/283.
