I don't know what's going on. There isn't even a debris signature on it.

Another premature issuance here. I know we are a long ways from radar and the velocity suggests that a high-end tornado may be about to occur, but CC hasn’t dropped yet on any radar site that I can find. I don’t get the issuance when you don’t have substantial evidence of an intense to violent tornado is occuring on radar and/or have a credible chaser with video evidence showing one if we consider the radar hole this is in.

Local EMA reported a 'multi-vortex tornado east of Hwy 99 and Hwy 8', per storm reports.

I mean for goodness sakes use the Tornado Reported Warning instead of going full throttle

Watch technically has 3-4 hours left. Plenty can happen within that time frame.
It's still early
Parallel shear vectors to the front's orientation. Basically nothing can save that unless prefrontals develop far enough ahead of it, or something remains basically isolated.
Surprised at the Omaha office doing this. I brushed off yesterday's to just Hastings doing Hastings office things.

Another nudger interaction, maybe this one will do it despite the weak LLJ.
The forcing aloft thanks to the jet streak being so far back is definitely helping these storms from going upscale too fast, ironically though that’s why the LLJ is weak in the first place.

But the highest risk was only going to be 6-9 if things remained discrete, which seems highly, highly unlikely now.

The previous tornado emergency cell is now PDS warned, noting a second area of rotation in addition to a confirmed tornado on the ground.

Cottage Hill, KS storm has a large bowl lowering on it. Could drop something significant.
