Bounded weak echo region is another thing that came to mind, but I would think it would have a lot more lightning.

Yes, I may have a wrong picture, but one is coming together. Lol I believe the storm was cycling in the signatures that @mahantango#1 posted and we're seeing the very moment the old inflow, notch closed up. I also believe the storm probably cycled like this several times before it could form a tornado. @MAG5035 feel free to to let me down.

You were under some of that convection, or you're just getting wind/rain

Yeah, just kinda looks to me like it closed off Its feed of cooler dry air to the meso and you're just seeing what's left of it getting pinch to the center, and that's also probably what killed any chance of it forming a tornado. I could be completely wrong because I don't have access to watch it again and can't see the whole storm in the images. I included a picture of a cell below that is showing circulation beginning to dog leg. You can see the mesocyclone, catching up with the rear flank of the precipitation core and eventually, if they merge and you catch it at the right moment, that close off point can certainly can be confused for a debris ball. I want to reiterate that this is not our super sell from the other day. This is just one I chose for the dog leg.

And just to be clear, anybody could make that mistake with their eyes . That's why surveys are so necessary even with radar confirmation.

So while i'm already looking stupid, it's probably a good time to add my stupid analysis. I don't have the means to go back and look at this nor did I ever see it in such high detail but it looks to me like the circulation dog leged and just embedded itself into the cell giving the illusion of a the debris ball.

LOL it's even circled in the corner. I was looking for a supercell and my eye just immediately said, what the hell is that and just never connected the history of the date. But anywho the wind has died down here and the spring peepers are actually still chirping tonight, so it's not bad out here at all, while i'm wrapping up work in Mechanicsburg.

I think you had an upload error

Quasi linear convective system with embedded rotations is the mode they keep throwing out although there is talks of more discrete development out ahead, even into Pennsylvania. I would indeed bet that some of those segments, and even the whole line could qualify ifor derecho status if the parameters should be realized.

Oh, I still haven't heard it mentioned anywhere.It was just an observation of mine.

With possible embedded rotations

Yes, extremely interesting. I also am hearing that an extremely potent jet streak it is expected to enhance convection and sheer from the middle Mississippi into the Ohio valley Sunday night into Monday . The last time I think any of us saw such robust nighttime convection this early in the season was 2011 and even that benchmark season waited until mid April to start it's nocturnal shenanigans. Apparently, the situation could be a lot more ominous had the last system not kicked the moisture.

There's professional discussion now of severe weather, making it the whole way up into New England. It also looks to me like a little backside snow could possibly make it into the discussion as we move forward although I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere.

I think a consequence of this early convectively, active pattern will be a relax followed by a well timed vigorous return. I also haven't given up on winter. I still think the old man shows his face during one of the swings.

One man's classic is another man's diarrhea.
