Issuing first tornado warning for threat in Pott. Co. panhandle, with evidence of rising motion from helicopter and rotation (vel: 30 out, 15 in) and notch in reflectivity in both PAR and KTLX. Going with low probs now, but expect increase in chance based on environment and beginning evidence of storm motion to the right. Discussion of whether or not deterministic tornado warning would be issued at this point–for this day and in this environment would go with “No” at this time.

Also updating storm motion for hail grids. And updating larger threat area to account for single core that has developed in SE Cleveland Co, smaller area higher probs.

*Software: would like to be able to toggle reflectivity while viewing warning contours as top source
