A little rain coming

No know big storms for this west pasco weather watcher,just a little rain.
Its hot and humid a bad hair day for most. me i dont care about my hair just want a big ol storm to come my way. Now that I have a computer to watch the radars its seem I'm stuck in a rut.
I was hoping to here back from the producer from the twister sisters reality show, no news yet... I want so bad to go see what its like for a real chaser oor just to meet some real chasers. It would be my dream true.
Money wise i am poor I realy don't see any way to be able to do a trip like that, but now its nawing at me. I want to go buy weather instruments for my computer, i want a lap top. I WANT TO CHASE!!!!!!!!
ho hum mabie I will win the lotto or better yet Dan the man the producer from the reality show calls me and says your in!!! That would be well you all know i've said a millon times..A dream come true!!
Untill something intresting happens this jess sighning off....

HAIL (3/4 inch or greater)

Hail can cause significant damage to your vehicle, break windows and damage roofs of homes and businesses.
Hail can cause significant bodily injuries such as broken bones and even blindness if wind blown.
Softball (4.5 inches) sized hail was reported in Lake Wales, Florida on March 30, 1996.
Haildrifts, up to four feet deep of dime to nickel sized hail, occurred in low-lying areas near Zephyrhills, Florida on January 29, 1997.
Hailstones the size of softballs can fall at speeds faster than 100 mph

supercell

Supercells derive their rotation through tilting of horizontal vorticity (an invisible horizontal vortex) caused by wind shear. Strong updrafts lift the air turning about a horizontal axis and cause this air to turn about a vertical axis. This forms the deep rotating updraft, the mesocyclone.
A cap or capping inversion is usually required to form a downdraft of sufficient strength. The cap puts an inverted (warm-above-cold) layer above a normal (cold-above-warm) boundary layer, and by preventing warm surface air from sinking too far, allows one or both of the following:
Air below the cap warms and/or becomes more moist
Air above the cap cools
This creates a warmer, moister layer below a cooler layer, which is increasingly unstable (because warm air is less dense and tends to rise). When the cap weakens or moves, explosive development follows.
In North America, supercells usually show up on Doppler radar as starting at a point or hook shape on the southwestern side, fanning out to the northeast. The heaviest precipitation is usually on the southwest side, ending abruptly short of the rain-free updraft base or main updraft (not visible to radar). The rear flank downdraft, or RFD, carries precipitation counterclockwise around the north and northwest side of the updraft base, producing a "hook echo" that indicates the presence of a mesocyclone.
