As the storm passed to our NW, cloud base rotation and a clear slot became apparent. The lower area in the photo was rotating, but did not appear to be a legitimate funnel cloud.

The supercell moved by slowly to our N, with a front-lit lowering apparent. Rotation was reasonably strong during this time period, with a few very brief/small funnel clouds, but no tornadoes. We followed the storm farther to the ENE, but it never again
