Last night's LSX tornado warning

Does anyone have insight into what went into issuing the tornado warning for the St Louis Metro area last night (April 15, ~10 p.m.)?

The issuing seemed very uncharacteristic for an NWS forecaster (weak signature on a single scan, situated fairly close to the RADAR and issued for an inordinate amount of time).

It's been a long time since I was a career forecaster, but that's a situation where if I'd had issued, I would have been called in the next day to do a full review to prove that I knew how to interpret RADAR.

I ran it past several of the forecasters I used to work with and absolutely none of us could identify a reason to issue. Local meteorologists seemed skeptical at best, some visibility irritated that they had to talk through the warning with the public on air. No one seemed happy with it.

Is there new issuing protocol with the recent federal cuts? Or just a poor forecast? The whole thing is unfortunate given the local community is still dealing with the fallout of a major tornadic event from last season. This type of thing is broadly damaging to public trust in weather science, which is already an uphill battle.
