The same day, 22 April, few hours later, the same airmass that produced cells with V-shape on satellite image, also
produced a High Precipitation tornadic supercell, detected by the WSR-98D S band radar in SE Romania. Doppler radial velocity image, at the bottom, has an intense mesocyclone and in the reflectivities, we can see the supercell structure, with a very pronounced "hook echo" to the S, and V-notch structure, produced by the flow splitting around a very strong updraft. Very high reflectivites, up to 70 dBZ, due to hail presence. Tornadoes were reported in Bulgaria and Romania
