Summary
| Description |
English: Time-lapse snapshot, 4 minutes after the start of the Grow, TX Tornado at 6:38 pm CDT on May 4, 2022. The photo looks east and shows the streamwise vorticity current (SVC), inflow channel (IC), and descending reflectivity core (DRC). In this case, the SVC appeared to be more horizontally oriented, which could be due to the RFD boundary pushing the SVC further north and west, to align with the forward flank precipitation gradient. Within a few minutes after this photo, the VROT reached 81 knots, signifying that it most likely produced winds capable of EF3 damage based on Smith et al. 2020 findings. Due to this, the storm qualifies as a high-end tornadic supercell, even though the tornado hit no structures and was officially rated EF Unknown |
