Severe WX Severe Threat 27-28 March 2021

What is with SHV only updating about half as often as other NEXRAD sites? I'm getting a scan every 6 minutes as opposed to one every 2-3.

It seems that they didn't activate the special scan modes (AVSET/SAILS/MRLE/etc.) for whatever reason(s). Hopefully this doesn't become a factor in leading to more injuries/deaths (knock on wood!)...

EDIT: Actually, it looks like they have been using those modes, but sometimes for whatever reasons they (seemingly) will be disabled, then re-enabled at seemingly random intervals. I've also seen that happen from time to time with other radars, and since I don't operate any of the radars myself I have no real explanation for it.
 
Oh boy I was out for like an hour and a half and have clearly missed a lot...
 
The storm nearing Carthage looks like it'll pass uncomfortably close to the south of said town.

This ongoing outbreak definitely caught me off guard despite the Enhanced Risk, I just got "that feeling" and happened to tune in at exactly the right time...

I got a similar feeling fairly early in the day, and started tracking not long before 3:00 PM.
