AzShear Increase with Clutter

Just south of the couplet that did produce damage, AzShear looked quite good with what appears to be clutter near the radar. No damage reports were noted in this area. TORP wasn’t that interested in this feature, which is good, but the AzShear certainly caught the eye. This is important to identify as a forecaster and use TORP in tandem with AzShear so as to not be tricked by clutter near the radar that causes AzShear to spike. -newt
