An Extra TORP/AzShear Update?

Radar scans came into AWIPS and with TORP at 1922, 24, 27, and 28z. However, an extra update came in to  TORP at 1925z. This is strange given that there wasn’t really an extra radar scan, but the data looked real with legitimate updates. It was helpful too as the TORP increased from 51% at 1922z to 82% at 1925z with an evident increase in the AzShear, which is a big confidence booster in getting a proactive tornado warning out which isn’t easy to do in a messy QLCS setup. I guess glitch or not, can’t argue having an extra mysterious update. -newt
