Late-day supercells that form on “cooked” old outflow boundaries can do interesting things in twilight or after dark, including (sometimes) tornadoes. I targeted the boundary between Aspermont and Dickens partly for that reason, and partly because it was the easiest to reach. This was as close as it came to paying off while there was still daylight, about 15 minutes after sunset in the “blue hour.” A slowly rotating wall cloud and slowly rotating funnel certainly caught my attention! However, despite that slow rotation (with the scud in front of and leftward of the funnel traveling around it), no dust, debris, nor full condensation ever took place beneath , prior to the funnel’s becoming ragged and dissipating. This was about as low as I’ve seen a funnel condense without being more assuredly tornadic. In reality the circulation probably did rise from the surface, but too weakly to count as a tornado.
