Question 3. Consider the impact this storm might soon have on an outdoor social event. The event is the annual May Fest which is held the first weekend in May at Trinity Park in Fort Worth. Limited parking is available at the park, so event organizers transported festival goers by bus from parking lots several miles away.
 



 
Answer. Based on the reflectivity image, the supercell is taking direct aim at Trinity Park. Reflectivities above 60 dBZ will impact the festival with very heavy rain and hail likely.
