Okay… that escalated quickly. Went from literally nothing to this in about five scans

Well...That really escalated quickly.
Not sure if I've ever seen a supercell go from literally nothing to "confirmed tornado" in the span of about 20 minutes. This environment is no joke.
Headed right for Waco... again

It's really looking mean now.
The convection bubbling up to the cell's SW could cause everything to congeal/cluster up pretty quickly... but we'll have to see

Current view from Nick Smego's stream shows a rapidly rotating wall cloud.
This thing has been trying for over a half hour now

Looks impressive on the Fort Hood radar
I’m genuinely surprised a velocity signature like this doesn’t have a tornado down

Really intense couplet, if it does produce it's gonna be a big problem

It just intensified/tightened noticeably on the 1957Z scan. Bad timing too as it's getting close to the densely populated I-35 corridor.

Yeah that velocity is something you usually only see on strong tornadoes
Still no TDS thankfully, but if one does pop up it's gonna be NASTY

I'm bewildered that there's no TOG with a meso that intense.
