Just out of curiosity, any idea what is preventing these storms from developing strong LL rotation? Looks pretty good on reflectivity, but lackluster on velocity.

 

Well, for one, the LLJ hasn't picked up strongly yet.

The former FDR and current tor warned cell continues to be outflow dom.

 

The chaser cam I was watching was showing some pretty strong inflow via blowing dust flowing right into that cell.

 

Edit: Now it does look to be outflow dominant (for the time being).

Where are you seeing this? From KFDR there's nothing but very broad rotation.

 

Yah... def not an "intense couplet" not to mention that storm putting down a tornado is virtually impossible

The Lawton storm is not bowing out, lol. It might be outflow dominant at this point, but doesn't look like anything anywhere near a bow.

Yes, that is what I was trying to say. When they become outflow dominant, the hooks usually lose their "curve" and straighten out, or sometimes bulge outward. I didn't mean in terms of a big straight line bow echo. Plus they just dropped the warning.
