Large tor report 5 minutes ago with that.Very likely a huge nasty tornado on that now, very wrapped in rain, shame there isn't a closer radar
That CWA is a speed trap, the storm doesn’t want to get a ticketThat's what it says, although I've found the storm speeds given in NWS warning statements are not always accurate and can be quite confusing. Sometimes a storm will cross CWA boundaries and the warning issued by the next office will say it's moving 25 MPH faster or slower than the previous office!
Big question now is the incoming merger. If it’s constructive we’ve got a big problem.Very likely a huge nasty tornado on that now, very wrapped in rain, shame there isn't a closer radar
