Transient TORP Object Amidst Weak Cyclonic Signature

Around 1445 UTC Tuesday, with evidence of weak cyclonic convergence from base data/KEAX (top), a TORP object (~40%) was generated. This occurred despite AzShear remaining below critical threshold. The cyclonic signature on base data/SRM weakened over subsequent scans, and the TORP object ended. In early days of the experiment, I have been using ~40% as a baseline threshold for TORP situational awareness. Will continue to assess if similar instances occur, requiring a shift in baseline TORP percentage.  -QLCS
