Well,thanks to the help of Level II radar data and Volumetric i furthered my interest in the storms in Arkansas yesterday night. Interesting enough I was studding the storm using Relative Velocity, A Level 2 Radar layer called NROT that shows rotation within the storm and of course regular up to the minute live radar sweeps from KLZK National Weather Service Doppler Radar. Just about a minute before a Tornado Warning was issued for the Benton and Little Rock areas,i saw something strange on the Volumetric 3D display and sure enough it was the Tornado that ripped thought the area last night. I have 3 pictures to show what I had saw before the warning was issued and they are in my 4 Warn Weather Album once Fox 4 Admins approve them. The first one shows Volumetric imaging showing a Tornado forming in front of the storms Radar data. The two other images show the upper,mid and lower level rotations estimated by Doppler Radar,green being a better rotation and yellow being a significant rotation. I thought i was pretty cool to see a tornado right before the national weather service issued a warning and im glad for the money i payed to get a program to show all this incredible weather data,it helps a rookie meteorologist understand the weather abit more clearly.  Hope yall enjoy it and have a great weekend.

Ah Nice,you used isosurface which im still studying abit on how to interpret,all i know is,those cells had cloud tops of over 50 KFT within the hail cores,plus it was hard to see the rotation cause the radar indicated it was rain wrapped.
