Note the distance between each mini supercell was only around 10nm. Much of the same reflectivity structure exists as expected with traditional supercells, but smaller in magnitude. A small hook echo can be detected with each cell, along with a V-notch downstream. Note, the BWER and overhang at 15nm from the radar. Figure 2 .
Line denotes cross section location.
Figure 3 . UTC for the northern most storm. Maximum echo tops with all five mini supercells in the study ranged mainly from 25,000 to 30,000 feet. Only isolated tops to 35,000 feet were noted. Maximum reflectivities over 55 dBZ were also rare.
