Posted video . Reminds me of the tree topper cell we had 7-8 years ago 

STP is near 1, so I could see pulling the trigger once rotational velocity is over 25 kt. Right now it's about 23.5 kt near Manchester.

Pretty classic TOR problem of sidelobe contamination though.

A lot of this stuff has limited push into the glaciation level.  I've been watching these towers off and on all day, and they tend to cap at the alto stratas level  ... then fail to penetrate their pileus.   Some did glaciate, but most of the mass of the cumulonimbi mass was below below.   You need to have the phase transition in the glaciation level with sufficient mass - it's something I've noticed over the years.  Denser cumuli form plumes in that level get your thunder.

It may yet along this line..
