Is that legit or contamination?

Ft Worth just mentioned they can't verify anything due to the noisy data.

They should still PDS-tag it IMO. That velocity is absolutely disgusting.
Seems like it may be cycling but that inflow is very, very scary. Upper level rotation shown from KTLX is also very worrying and shows that this thing is a monster.
Again, this thing is in an incredibly violent environment and will continue to produce tornadoes.

 

[Clancy]

Would bet all 3 of the pennies currently in my pocket there's a tornado on that.

Some contamination but it's without a doubt a very strong couplet.
Clear TDS on radar now though.

 

[Maxis_s]

Uh... what?

 

[TornadoFan]

 

[Clancy]

Probable TDS.

 

[Maxis_s]

Next scan doesn't show much of a TDS anymore.
Still a really powerful storm, it's quite literally on its own.

 

[kcyalater]

that supercell is violence.

 

[SmokeEater]

Still nothing out of Montague County except small limbs down.

[Maxis_s]

This thing is in an extremely favorable environment.

 

[Bevo]

Hopefully that thing dies down soon…slightly to the SE and you’re starting to talk about a path to populated areas.

I expect periodic touchdowns until a full proper cycle occurs and it drops a big one again

It's undergoing a meso handoff. Very clear on reflectivity from KFDR and KTLX.

 

[TornadoFan]

yikes.

 

[Jpgood97]

I hope the storm headed to Barnsdall doesn’t wrap up soon. Lot of lightning and the couplet is looking better on last scan

This cell looks like one of the beefy cells the HRRR tried to forecast

 

[Evan]

Could've had a couple dozen more WSR-88Ds, but, no, we decided instead to just hand out hundreds of millions in fraudulent PPP dollars to random criminals and fraudsters.

I believe this correlates pretty well with that crazy UH streak it painted along the river for a number of runs previously.
