Tornado WARNING can mean sighted tornado etc but also means rotation has been detected by doppler radar.
We had a wall cloud go by this summer (Westminster CO). You could hear the sort of rumble, but no funnel (I was pissed). We were under a warning for this (my phone went off so I ran outside to check shit out).
Right, but I watched the local weather channel and there was no rotation.
If there was no funnel, why would there be a warning? Even if you look up 'tornado watch vs warning', it says a warning means "that either a tornado has been spotted or a radar has picked one up."
If radar shows no rotation and there's no funnel, why would there be a warning?
I'm probably hung up on something pointless, but after a lifetime of watching severe weather closely, we've never had a warning with no rotation/funnel.
Glitch? Crazy person called one in? Dunno on this one fren.
All I know is growing up in OK and never actually seeing one - only a couple of wall clouds (though the most dramatic was in SW Denver and I looked right UP the rotating column at least) - is actually pretty irritating.
