Memorial Day chase

Ottawa is under a severe thunderstorm watch right now. Severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect for Renfrew and southern Nippissing Counties. I don't think those storms are even that intense anyway, it'll be dropped in no time probably.

The cell in Lanark County has golf ball size (1.75") hail though...once it got into GRLevel3 range I was able to prove it was severe...
