To be fair, though, I don't think the SARS Analog archive goes more recently than the mid-late 2000s (IIRC). I would certainly love to see more recent additions to it so that we can perhaps get a better idea of storm environment analogs and go from there.



"COW" is the acronym for "C-band Doppler On Wheels", and are basically (as the name implies) DOW trucks equipped with C-band (~5 cm wavelength) radar antennas.

Here's a paper that goes into more detail on these and other recent enhancements to the DOW fleet:

Looked to have a been a pretty significant tornado that hit Jacksonville, Illinois.

Here's the debris signature.

It's very faint, but I believe there's some horizontal vortex action going on in there. Definitely not a weak tornado.

Yeah I can see that too. I'd argue strong to likely intense.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Speaking of intense, that is a textbook intense couplet.
