A small thunderstorm that affected the Broomfield, Colorado area during the early afternoon hours of 7 May 2016 is seen in the reflectivity data collected in a low elevation angle CSU-CHILL PPI scan. Horizontal winds synthesized from CHILL and KFTG radial velocity data showed well-defined convergence at near-surface levels in the vicinity of this thunderstorm. (Full Article...)
