Looks like it is starting to interact with the cells coming up from behind and getting disrupted.

The storms south of it are racing towards it. Hopefully they can cut it off before it reaches the town and interstate

@CC_StormWatch — There are #tornado shelters at the rest areas at Mile Markets 281-282 (both directions) on I-35 near Salado. If you know someone on I-35 heading that way, tell them to park there and get in there. #TXwx

Supercell is getting muddy, the other storms are really disrupting it, possibly a very close call for Salado

@MyRadarWX — Some encouraging news — the tornado has now taken a left/northward turn, ordinarily a sign that the twister is beginning to approach the end of its life.

That said, the storm could “cycle” and produce a new tornado. Remain sheltered if near Salado.

Been ongoing for 30+ min.

Looks like Salado may’ve just dodged a bullet. That north hook at the end has me worried for Belton & Temple though

@NWSFortWorth — 610pm: The tornado over southern Bell county appears to have lifted. The tornado threat has ended for at least the next few minutes, so the tornado warning will expire at 615pm. However the storm remains, and a new warning could be issued if rotation increases again. #ctxwx

If you have my radar on your phone. Sean Cobb has a good spot with well defined wall cloud on the storm.
