Looks like a heavy precipitation event with some forms of severe weather coming up on Monday and Tuesday, though details have yet to be worked out.
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.
Deep shear will be more than sufficient for supercells, but the storm-relative winds at the troposphere could be quite weak. Instability should be sufficient assuming the overnight convection clears out. Dewpoints should be the best we've seen all year in this part of the world...possibly higher than 65 with pooling along the boundaries.

--> http://kamala.cod.edu/offs/KOUN/0604240906.fxus64.htmlWE THINK THE COMBINATION OF ENHANCED
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND PROGGED INSTABILITY COULD EASILY SUPPORT
TORNADIC SUPERCELLS - AND PERHAPS SOME STRONG/VIOLENT TORNADOES -
ACROSS N HALF OF OK THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... BUT MUCH WILL
DEPEND ON MESOSCALE AND STORM-SCALE EVOLUTION PRIOR TO THAT.
STORM-SCALE FACTORS MAY BE MINIMAL AS THE MOST ORGANIZED STORMS
NOW ARE EXITING THE NE CORNER OF THE CWA...LEAVING ONLY ISOLATED
CORES ACROSS N OK. THIS ALL MAY MEAN AN ACTIVE DAY AHEAD. [/b]
