Wow, things really got cranking while I was away. Fading TDS on the northern cell, likely we'll see a drop on the southern one soon.

Meso handoff on the northern storm. Currently sitting just outside both warning polygons.

What do you happen to notice? My radarscope is quite messy.
Lots of broad rotation over Houston, I don't think anything is down at the moment, but to the SW there is some small clearing out that these cells need to pop.

EDIT: As I was writing this there is a SVR warning for Houston
 
SVR warning. Surprised it hasn’t gone TOR yet.
Velocity isn't all that impressive. It has the look on reflectivity and there is definite rotation, but I don't see enough to justify a TOR at the moment. No tight couplet and relatively unimpressive winds.

With that being said, given the large population, I would have no problem with a precautionary TOR warning.
