I am really wondering why the storm West of Mullen, NE isn't warned on. Has a nice "C" shape to it with a 70-75 dbz core and a couplet on both SRV and BV scans, granted its not the most defined couplet in the world.

EDIT: About 5 minuets after posting that it goes straight to tor warned.

You're right Chris that storm has a pretty significant hook and couplet. I wonder if it is high based though because moisture isn't all that great up there, then again there is a tor warning in W SD!

Edit: Mullen, NE cell just went tor-warned.

I-40 West bound closed.

A number of 18 wheelers have wrecked near the Foss exit due to high winds and flooding. Both lanes are closed a number of OHP units responding now.
