The forecast was good so me and two friends decided to chase in FVG (Friuli-Venezia-Giulia). Starting point was in Sežana then we proceeded to catch the first thing that came into our range. It was already spectacular on the radar when we started. We caught it close to city Udine.
On the road, still in Novo Mesto.
First supercell on a gas station near Udine. Nice inflow banding. Too bad there were stratus clouds all around us so we didn't get to see much other then the wall cloud and circulation.
Awesome view of the wall cloud.
Spectacular rotation. Too bad we were a little late so we head to do most of our shooting from the car.
Once again the awesome structure of the wall cloud. RFD is now obvious.
On a toll booth, in traffic ... RFD was really cutting into the wall cloud as seen here. Obvious lowering, it was trying to produce a tornado here but it couldn't.
This storm then hit the hills east of Udine. I'm certain that it would produce tornado if there weren't any hills on the way! Next supercell please ...
From the car.
Close to Palmanova. This supercell already dropped 2 tornadoes, one of them F3 with 10.5 km lenght and 250 m width ... Too bad we missed this one also.
Back north.
Interesting structure.
On the same gas station as before. Awesome view!
All over the sky. Nicely illuminated.
Panorama...
Successful stormchase, too bad we missed the tornadoes but that's how it is. Maybe with better CAPE ...
