Asperatus in the morning in east central Tennessee

Small pictures don’t do it justice, click image for a larger (still perhaps too small!) version. Pretty cool stuff out ahead of a dying squall line this morning.  Currently sitting in the car with rain falling along with the occasional flash of lightning.

We’re currently headed through Tennessee on the way toward hopefully intercepting some severe weather in and around Arkansas later today, where the Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk for severe weather and has recently upped tornado risk from 5% to 10% — more on that later as we figure out where we’re going.
