Ive got a Question about the "Meso-Eyes" or "Tornado Eyes" for lack of a better term. Take a look at the Rapid-Dow radar from 6/5 of this year. You will see on a much higher-resolution of what im talking about.

That is higher-resolution stuff then Level3 or 2, but you can see them form on there too. Heres one I saw one in Longview, TX just two days ago. You can see those "Meso-Eyes" displayed at two different times. There have been a few notable examples this year such as the EF-2 Shreveport Tornado. On high-rez radar, you can really see these images come alive. I saved some 2-Panel Screen shots for yall to look at and have a couple other examples of these "Meso-Eyes" from storms earlier this year. Basically, what im talking about is a Rain-Free or Semi-Rain-free hole that takes place where your Hook is. Apparently its Rain wrapping Violently around a circulation, but wraps around so much to the point it leaves a rain-wrapped/rain-free core to either a Wall-Cloud/Meso or the actuall Tornado Itself.
Here is an Example from two days ago of one sitting Just overtop of I-20 S of Longview, TX. Look and see! Thats where the Hook belongs, but where you would normally see it. Instead, you see a shallow 35dBz area surrounded by a 45+dBz area. The thing is, If you look over at the Storm Relative image. You will see the core of the cirulation is right over top of that "Eye".
These holes measured only 0.1-0.3nm in width, so I want to know if these are Wall-Clouds or the Tornadoes Themselves. Here goes another scan of the Same Storm taken just 25mins later. This one shows a Rain-Free Eye with a strong couplet. You can clearly see the rain swirling around that Hole. The question is; Is that the Tornado?
I could only imagine how it Looked on Level2 or Super-Rez. Maybe someone can dig up some shots.
Here is One More Scan from 6/17 of this Year. Youve already seen what im Talking about so tell me what you think. Are these Tornadoes or Wall-Clouds or Nothing?
