Slow TORP Response for TOR Warning Consideration Event

From 1500-1515 UTC,  a brief increase in organization and rotational increase occurred along a broad shear zone in Clay County, Missouri. Eventually, a rather pronounced cyclonic convergence signature appeared at the north side of the convergence zone, with TOR warning consideration made. However, despite prolonged period of critical AzShear threshold values met, TORP was slower to respond, and by time values spiked towards relative maximum (~65%) for this event, the signature had abated from a base data perspective. -QLCS
