Photogenic supercell storm in Burgenland (SE Austria) on 9.7.2021

[Stormchaser175]

I Will post this short report in english. On that day few strong storms (possible supercells) were expected over area around SE Austria to Hungarian border. Conditions up there from Gleisdorf area to Rechnitz (near the HU border) were still quite good. Good shearing, and wind profile on 500 hPa (SW wind) and some strong veering down under (NE) winds over the Alps. Cape up to 1400 j/kg. It created an lvl1 risk situation.

I started very early from Maribor (Slovenia) and went directly to Graz and toward Ilz/Fürstenfeld. First convection near Sinabelkirchen was observed.



Radar pictures, up to 65 dBZ (from the start to the end of the storm).







Hartberg ( classic supercell with some rotation).





Unterbergen.



I had to go east more toward Oberwart area. What a classic supercell with rotating mesocyclone and wall cloud.









City Oberwart (danger close).





SE part of the town.





Finally I found a road toward east (Dürnbach im Burgenland), and managed to get some distance over the storm. Awesome shelf cloud, with a low hanging wall cloud over the SW site of the storm.













Near the Hungarian border cell became weaker, as the conditions were worse in that area over the Pannonian plains.





And this was the end of the day, hope you like my report.
