Brief Tornado Warning


A tornado warning was briefly issued for Sanborn County, near Artesian - this is what the storm relative velocity looked like when they issued it, you can see the bright area of red right next to a bright area of green, that's storm motion going towards (green) and away (red) from the radar and is a major indication of rotation in the atmosphere... this is a big reason why the warning was issued. This was only a doppler indicated tornado warning and so far, no reports on if one actually touched down.
We'll let you know later if anything actually formed.
