Waiting to see if they put out a 45% hatched tor risk. It's possible is storms end up more discrete.

Does the green band in the second photo show the rotation?

What you look for is called a couplet, when you have bright red and bright green next to each other. You have reds showing velocity moving away from the radar site, and green which are moving towards. The brighter the color the higher the velocity. So even when velocities are low, you can kinda tell where rotation is beginning, you can also tell how strong it is, and if it is broad or tightened. Also paired with base reflectivity and correlation coefficient radar you can see other features like hooks and debris balls to confirm whether there may be a tornado or not.

The bright reds and greens do. When they are close together, or sometimes swirled together it indicates rotation. Red is wind moving away from the radar, green is wind moving toward the radar. The tighter together they are, the stronger the rotation. When the swirl together, it usually is an indication of very strong rotation, possibly producing a significant tornado.

tornado has dissipated for now

Not looking as good on radar now, KFOR live video showed it roping out and lifting,
Posted on 5/18/17 at 2:20 pm to GEAUXmedic
It's hard to bring myself to watch KFOR and Mike Morgan. I'll never be able to let go of him telling people to get in the car and drive south during the Moore tornado in 2013.

"It's May 3rd all over again" .. he's such a chode. He also likes to predict intensities of tornadoes before they happen.
