Chicago Storm Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Have yet to see any visual evidence of this apparent tornado. No CC sig on the storm either.To me it looks like a significant RFD push, with big damaging wind/hail and maybe a brief spin-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Haven’t seen a CC or impressive presentation yet…is it too far from good radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanLarsen34 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I’m seeing mixed evidence of a tornado on Twitter skimming videos. It’s been really difficult to tell if this thing is on the ground too because of the distance it is from both radars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNstorms Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yeah this makes no sense to me. Maybe some straight line winds in the middle of the storm. No couplet at all. It's close enough to the radar that you would see a tornado clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxSynopsisDavid Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 So I found a few videos on Twitter and was able to take screen grabs. There is indeed a tornado, it was on the ground, and damage is already being reported. A few of you missed the point that this was wrapped in hail up to and exceeding 4in diameter. This prevents challenges to using CC and looking for the classic CC drops. Also, the area this tornado occurred you can pull from numerous polling sites. You just don’t get a great view of the storm no matter which one you use. Now…..I don’t see a large tornado on the ground. So it’s obvious someone seen the shelf cloud and reported it as a large tornado. Other viewpoints showed it well and it was a rather small tornado. Really hope the NWS uses this as a case study to crack down on false reporting. Those people need to go back through skyward classes and need there spotter account revoked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUWX Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Storm never had a radar or velocity signature that warranted a TORE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxSynopsisDavid Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Looking at the traffic pattern in the area, roads are backing up for miles. Something indeed happened in swath from Rayenden, Imboden, College City. Likely a small tornado. Previous collage I posted on screen grabs are, again, a case study. Top picture was a shelf cloud reported as the large tornado. Bottom 2 pictures were screen grabs from a video going around Twitter that the media is sharing. That video is from December (thank you to MNstorms). Really think this situation needs to be assessed and reviewed by the NWS. Some serious changes need to happen going forward….inexcusable to throw a Tornado Energency for a scud bomb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxSynopsisDavid Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Radar situation did not make this situation any better. Happened between 3 radar sites and none of them showed this storm well. Another case in point. Bottom picture was a split from a dual pane with CC. I initially circled the large CC swath that the radar was showing. I was spotting errors with the CC that could of been caused by the 4in hail. That’s why there was 2 areas I circled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
