I was talking about this bookend vortex aka commahead via the Indianapolis NWS radar & velocity that moved through I-465 beltway around Indianapolis on the Lake/Midwest regional forum.

I suppose the low-level wind shear and helicity made up for the lack of other ingredients for the severe threat that yielded this radar confirmed tornado in the Indianapolis metro area.

I think that briefly has a TDS correlation coefficient on the Indianapolis NWS radar

That Crittenden County supercell is very interesting. The entire cell is rotating around itself from the NWS MEG radar velocity reflectivity. You can look at its motion and it is a tightly rotating mesocycle indeed.

This is thing is likely on the ground

The Crittenden County, AR supercell is very ominous and likely on the ground. I'm looking at the NWS MEG radar velocity and it's extremely tight as it is headed towards West Memphis, AR.

Yep, and this is basically a line of tornadic supercells. Anyone from Downtown Memphis and northward along the Mississippi River might need to be prepared for one of those supercells.
