geddyweather Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 1 minute ago, Chinook said: Newly issued tornado warning for Folletts IA (Davenport) says spotters confirmed tornado: At 402 PM CST, a confirmed tornado was located over Camanche, or near Clinton, moving east at 40 mph. Still hard to get a good look at velocities but I wouldn't be surprised. Cell behind has a nice hook feature too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 those TDWRs will have to make do, but I saw somewhere that if they absolutely have to, they can operate LOT at a lower resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looks like it was a small, brief tornado near Camanche before lifting back into the wall cloud. EM report of visible debris, so probably legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That confirmed tor at Camanche IA was with 0-1km helicity of 100 to 150. It is significantly higher to the south in central IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
