KGRK radar showing what looks to be a developing hook echo sough of Caldwell with an estimate of 2.21'' hail, close to what KHGX was suggesting....as I type this the storm goes tornado warned, lol. Radar does show some rotation possibly trying to tighten up to the south of Caldwell at this time.

Looks like the met at the warning desk thinks the storm could turn a bit more to the right (southeast) based on the latest severe thunderstorm warning polygon configuration.

SCITS are pointing a little more eastward than the polygons suggest.

What rotation there was on the KGRK and HGX radar's looks to be almost gone...based on what the HGX spotter said, the storms is becoming a bit too elevated to be a real tornado producer.

Since the new warning is a thunderstorm warning rather than tornado, wonder if they will just let the TW expire (although I still see a meso notification from the radar.)
