Just as you said that, look at it now. It weakened significantly. I’m watching the area out near La Grange now. That’s a nasty looking cell.

yeah, bad timing - there are a lot of other sources, but waking up in the midst of it & searching for it was frustrating

a while back they said "new radar" would happen some time in April, now it says April/May - hopefully soon ?
