If I am wrong please correct me but isn't that known as a MCV. Meoscale Convective Vortex that are spawned by strong covective complexes.

Bingo ... This MCV has a ton of upper level diffluence which has taken on the "hurricane-like" look in the satellite picture ...

Nevertheless, it's an awesome satellite shot.

I got into work and was like WOW that is a SWEET TS in KS! :o
That system did not bring in much precip over my area due to the STRONG cap. With the front associated with it just to my S we kept getting WAA over the slope of the front increasing the CAP even more.. Also the CAA that came along with the MCV was not very significant at all.. we still hit a high of 91ºF with mid cloud cover all day.

Still it was a very sweet sight to behold!

Now if we could get that over the open waters of the Gulf we would have something to talk about. Providing of course that the vertical shear is weak enough that ventilation is limited and latent heat isn't transported downshear of the system, allowing central pressure to lower and wind speed increase.

That is a SWEET looking MCV though! Wish it was over the Gulf. lol
