May 25th 2009 - Monster Ljubljana supercell

This was a supercell that really surprised us all. I didn't even went to chase, kinda got caught unprepared but I took some photos from my home in Novo mesto. This supercell dropped 6-7 cm hail in Ljubljana. I wanted to intercept it in Novo mesto but it kinda dryed out, so no specatular photos for me. My friend got a couple of fantastic photos of the mesocyclone in LJ. Check them HERE. Inflow easily seen more than 70 km far away.

It was more than 2000 J/kg CAPE that day with 20 m/s DLS but no low lever winds thus no veering and helicity so I did not expect such a supercell forming!
