Almost like it's tethered to the gust front

That's beautiful. But that's a pretty classic rear flank gust front. Obviously related to the rear flank downdraft. Very good visualization of how supercell tornadoes work.

Severe warning issued 35 miles ahead of the MCS. The warning expires in 50 mins but says the MCS is moving a 45 mph. Math is kinda awkward there. Sounds like they expect the MCS to make it to the end of the severe warning before the warning expires. Haven't noticed if that's a common thing... I always assumed it was normal to have the warning expire before the end of the warning. As usual, I'm not doubting NWS' training/knowledge, it's more about me apparently not noticing things before. Or there's just more to it than I know.

Edit: ooh, this is in ICT's CWA. @Ingyball?

Edit2: now that I do the math, the MCS will only be out of the CWA for 2 miles by the time the warning expires. So I'm sure it's more about seeing if it maintains intensity... if it does, then there'll be an overlapping warning before the current one expires. 

So this was a bit of a learning experience for me... out loud 😂 Wish I would've kept it to myself before I do the math but I can no longer delete my own posts. 😞 That saved me from myself more times than I wish to admit.

0z ILN sounding says there's no reason to not believe we could have a mini-supercell. Deep-layer shear is there, directional shear is there, and weak low-level winds and tall/skinny instability suggests mini supercells.
