Suffice it to say that today's chase was an interesting contrast, especially since it included a reporter and a photographer from the local paper . We were under a tornado watch but the best early afternoon storms fired south and east of Richmond, not exactly chase territory. Later storms rolled through the Fredericksburg area with large hail and frequent lightning. Where were we? Between both sets of storms. To be fair we did see some mammatus and we did see the rear of the above storm complete with interesting cloud motions (area of rotation is circled in the radar view above). So it wasn't exactly a bust, especially when I caught up with one of the Fredericksburg storms near New Post on the way home and was able to sit quietly for a while and enjoy the lightning show. More to follow later...
