never understand why people think we can't have supercells in the
UK, as, if the conditions exist, they will occur. I admit that the
Great Plains-sized events are quite rare, but I suspect that many of
our severe hail storms, such as August 25th, 2001 in Lincs and the
massive June 7th, 1996 outbreak contained supercells, especially the
latter, where some of the hail swaths were over 100 miles long...far
too long and organised for multicell stuff.

I posted without reading yrs Paul.Am I right in thinking these are examples where MCSs eventually
formed and that the possible supercells occured in the early stages?What's yr assessment of the
radar imagery in these cases?
