The storm near KVWX clearly has a tornado down. I have no idea why it's not radar confirmed.

Debris ball on reflectivity with that tornado just SE of KVWX.

Yeah, clearly a debris ball on reflectivity for multiple scans. These warnings today have not been handled well.

Intense-violent tornado ongoing east of KVWX! Still unconfirmed!

 

[slenker]

How is this thing still not confirmed? This is PDS material, absolutely ridiculous handling of these warnings today by the offices.

 

[Maxis_s]

This is unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.

I’m not really sure this in that strong of a tornado based on what I’m seeing from chasers

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Offices slacking yet again. PDS tor warning issued at bare minimum. EF3+ tornado easily ongoing.

Based on what exactly? It doesn’t even appear to be on the ground

Although I'll note at occasions close range radar can overestimate tornado intensity even 200 ft off the ground.

Appears to be a case of overestimating tor intensity via radar. I just got here and did not see the vids. Very different compared to radar. Let's hope that is the case though.

This is fair, doesn't look condensed, but it was very obvious a tornado was OTG for a while. Should have been upgraded to observed a while ago.

It was on the ground for at least 10 mins, likely 15 mins, before it was confirmed. The warning was even truncated while it was on the ground without being upgraded to observed.

Meso Handoff with the Fort Branch cell, should see a surge here soon with it and cycle perhaps again.

Tornadogenesis soon with our cell E of Evansville as I mentioned. Cycle is pretty evident here.
