Wow. Great timelapse. Love how in that first cell you could actually see the rotation.

I just realised that clouds are constantly appearing and disappearing all the time. Just really slowly so we can't really observe it.
Woah... 🤯

That first cell needed a better updraft and it probably would have went supercellular. Nice time lapse.

I love watching a good storm roll in and the smell of it

0:04 Convection beginning to explode with energy ahead of a frontal boundary, a storm cell trying to go supercellular with a strong rotating updraft but luckily doesn’t. 0:40 Storms fire along the frontal boundary with a shelf cloud forming from the outflow of the storms, strong winds from the outflow boundary and heavy downpours. Thunderstorm outlook data from May 31, 2017 shows that there was a 2% tornado risk and you can clearly see why in that first storm cell that developed.

0:14 that cloud had a updraft explosion and just suddenly disappeared (on the left side of the screen)

This was awesome. Keep up the amazing content!

After a low pressure system passes & the next day is sunny with large Cumulus clouds. Are they basically left over or brand new clouds that formed overnight?

Or from a high presure system that simply moved into the space.

that was the quickest storm i've ever seen that was like 7 seconds lol (i know its sped up but still thats pretty short)

I wonder if there was a funnel cloud in there🤔

Why yellow small picture down the video? The video should be free of small images placed at the top or bottom of the video ♧ we like videos without images upon it to become very Nice " thanks alot "
