This new updraft quickly became supercellular and passed by to our south. Reports of softball sized hail were then received by the spotter network, so we watched the beautiful structure of the storm while waiting for it to weaken before heading home.

The southern supercell demonstrated similar structure to the first supercell which formed earlier in the day.
