METD WEATHER

As forecasted in the previous few posts, 
The incursion of moisture along with presence of strong lift and CAPE triggered convection multiple times

At morning around 0410 hrs light rains were reported ( Which were very very less) 
Then the weather continued to be cloudy with a thunderstorm at NW of Nagpur. It turned clear around 11PM. This basically provided the heat for the thunderstorms to fire

Intense Convection fired around 1200hrs in Nagpur while a system became matured at triggered rainfall with an outflow boundary extending till Nagpur in the evening. 
The outflow boundary caused cold winds from the NE to N side around 7-13km/hr. 

After the sunset,the thunderstorm headed to Nagpur and around 1930hrs, Heavy rains with a severe thunderstorm was reported. 
The thunderstorm was very severe that around 7-8 ELECTRIC BOLTS COVERING THE ENTIRE SKY WERE SPOTTED BY MYSELF WITH STRONG WINDS OF 22KM/HR

TEMPERATURE IN NAGPUR INSTANTLY DROPPED BY 9C IN AN HOUR
 IN BETWEEN 1910-2010 HRS FROM 32C TO 23C 

Rains were very heavy. DATA RECORDED BY METD WEATHER PROBE INDICATE AROUND 3mm RAINS TILL 2200HRS 

Personal Note- 
"This was on of the memorable setups I had seen in my life. There were four distinct setups throughout the day. 
Extreme Lightning Bolts covering the entire sky were seen which are similar to those graphically displayed on the METD WEATHER profile picture"

WITH NEARLY A  MONTH FROM THE INAUGURATION, RADAR PRODUCTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE ON INTERNET AT THE IMD WEBSITES. 
SUCH NON-SEASONAL SETUPS REQUIRE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF THE DOPPLER RADAR
