CA Tornado Warning

21:15z: AzShear first caught my attention for an area to watch. Object marker quickly appeared and velocity indicated a very weak area of rotation. Next few scans showed the TORP probability increasing. This resulted in issuance of a tornado warning with ~4 minutes of lead time.
