Whimsical spinnies with a mostly cold core setup in Texas today!

11/14/2026 - Check this out! One of my followers near Seminole, TX sent me these pictures of what appears to be a tornado from earlier this evening! These pictures were taken at 6:01 PM CST about 8 mile east of CR 1429 in Seminole, TX. Did anyone else lay eyes on this? #TXwx #Tornado #SevereWeather

Strongly-rotating low-topped supercell approaching Highway 84 northwest of Snyder, Texas. Why no tornado warning?

The storm is likely elevated. We have next to no surface storm fuel, meaning no real tornado risk. Mainly just a hailer feeding off storm fuel aloft.

Fellow chasers/meteorologists – we all know that El Dorado/Duke was a violent tornado, but is it possible it reached two distinct peaks in strength?

The highest VROT from KFDR was west of Highway 34 during this cone with subvortices phase. Distinct later max to the east.
