After the main “Beck” tornado clearly dissipated, the mesocyclone got rain-wrapped, perhaps with one more brief spinup in the process. The mesocyclone then started rotating strongly again as it lurched back southwestward from the main part of the supercell, in classic “bent back” occluded form. Based on that behavior, as I had seen several times before, I figured another tornado had formed somewhere inside the cylinder of dense and rotating precip, but simply could not see it. This forced a waiting game, which allowed me time to reposition southward and a bit eastward away from the southward-drifting supercell core, to let the occlusion deepen and wind down, and perhaps get enough thinning of precip to see the suspected tornado before both it and the old mesocyclone expired. This time, patience paid, barely! A slight parting of the (descending) waters finally revealed the shrinking, somewhat phallic condensation tube for just a brief minute before the rear-flank downburst at left spent itself, briefly confirming the tornado about which I had been confident yet uncertain. Then, the entire parent circulation withered into a deceptively benign field of remnant light rain, outflow and scud.
