• 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.

Small supercell passing just north of Mound City, Kansas with tornado warning and law-enforcement report of funnel cloud. Moderate rotation visible on EAX and TWX radar. Not sure where this came from exactly. 60/52 in the vicinity so LCLs are low enough for it to produce if everything else goes right.
 
I've been watching this set-up too. Storms are associated with a compact vort max and -20C 500mb cold pool. The cells recieving the tornado warnings have been the ones immediately northeast of the surface reflection (low pressure near Ottawa KS attm), where sr-hodographs are actually decent despite weak BL flow given strongly backed surface winds. Can't chase since I'm working.
 
Thats the 2nd time this week ive seen 2 seperate supercells track from the nw to se. The other sup was the Eagle Pass storm which also tracked in a nw to se direction. The storm is still rotating and dangerous. Looks like it will be in Nevada, Mo in the next 15-20 min.
