Oh really. I used to have asthama too but not anymore. But yea my pollen allergys are awful. It lasts from like june to september and I hate it. Sometimes its so bad ill sneeze 20 times in a minute. It usually comes when its mugy its nice and cool now so not anymore. Im hoping it stays cool for longer so that I have less time to suffer.

Here's how it looks. I believe thats a gust front in front of it with some straight line wind gusts. (not strong at this time) Rotation is also weak but signs of it there in the atmosphere

BV (Base Velocity) Shows any kind of rotation that the radar beams are picking up.

I'm using GRLevelx software program. I believe NWS has those radar for free (not the 3D)

Speaking of which... didnt NWS say they were going to use new words like End of World, Catastrophy, ect. ect. Just to get people to take the warnings more seriously? I believe last year they mentioned this
