SF Peninsula Nano-chase

Last Saturday brought a strong cold front with enough moisture, CAPE, and helicity to produce this baby mesocyclone; which formed off Santa Cruz. I sat on a rise in Woodside and experienced a tiny bit of hail in the rain core, then circled around and got this shot from Sand Hill Road and 280 in Palo Alto. I want to comment about how small this was in comparison to other storms I've followed, but for the short time I was on this storm, I was having almost as much fun.
