Severe Weather Threat 5/19-5/22/2024

Tornado possibly approaching Newton, KS. Although, something isn't adding up with these radar presentations. The spot where you'd think the tornado would be on reflectivity, velocity and CC doesn't line up. Noticed that with the OK storm today as well although the radar coverage is so crappy there it's more understandable.

Moving at 80mph???
 
Moving at 80mph???

That'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!

That CWA is a speed trap, the storm doesn’t want to get a ticket
