Check out these higher resolution radar images of a tornadic supercell in Argentina on November 17,emailed to me by Luciano Vidal, a PhD student in meteorology from the University of Buenos Aires.  He updates this blog that focuses on South American severe weather: http://severestormargentina.blogspot.com/

 

This supercell clearly exhibited a very strong couplet on radar with a classic hook echo.  I bet this storm had a photogenic tornado with baseball or larger hail at the time of this image!

hehe Heidi :o

I saw the radar loop of this storm earlier today, and I was stunned! What a monster - even my untrained eye picked up the hook area and the hail core was absolutely huge.
Hope some of these cook up for Reed & Co. later in the spring.
Best of Luck to TVN/SC's Adventurers. :D
