• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Sitting in Irving, TX waiting on initiation. If anything I might be able to further destroy my windshield, which looks to be the most-likely mode of excitement for me. Thinking of heading east a bit to get a little better instability and moisture (though I'm cooking right here). Hopefully this gamble with rush hour DFW traffic will pay off.

BTW - my boss has mobile wirless and offered his laptop to me...so I said "why the hell not?". This hi-tech chasing is work when you're alone :-).
 
Given the favorable conditions near the TOR Warned Clay Co., AR cell.... this supercell could continue to track ESE and move near Dyersburg, TN...... which was hit by the F3 last April 2nd!
 
The 00Z DFW sounding is thermonuclear (and entirely uncapped)! Not sure if the CAPE was even integrated all the way up due to missing data above 225mb. The output MLCAPE is 4000 j/kg... it looks better than that so I assume it wasn't calculated the whole way up to the EL (wherever that is).
 
Not quite uncapped but close...storm near Arlington looks supercellular with a tight reflectivity gradient, nice V shape and weak convergence couplet. Bet if anything happens under this thing we'll hear about it due to its proximity to the metroplex. Baseball hail has already been reported from this storm.

EDIT: Tornado Warning now for Tarrant County which includes Arlington. Radar indicated...spotters report developing tornado. Live coverage on http://www.WFAA.com

Storm relative helicity on the Arlington/Sublette, TX storm must be very large due to the southerly storm motion. Looks like an HP cell due to the LARGE hook and expansive reflectivity field.
 
SPC soundings page gives 3 j/kg Tv-corrected MLCINH. My NSHARP gives 0 j/kg. Basically, it's entirely uncapped. LOL. Regardless, I haven't seen a sounding like this in the southern plains since sometime in 2004 or 2005. Strong low-level stretching will probably enhance the tornado prospects with that cell in Tarrant county with the fairly healthy 3km CAPE and low LFC heights.
