• 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.

Storm in Tillman County had a nice hail spike on an earlier volume scan. Now 1" hail reported. Nice BWER too. Wish I was on that storm!

Good I didn't bet any money. :) Nothing but this quarter hail: 1948 100 6 SW GRANDFIELD TILLMAN OK 3417 9876 (OUN)
 
1st TOR warning of the day, sw of the DFW metroplex. Reflexivity doesn't look all that impressive but velocity has been showing deep, persistent rotation. Its current path will take it over the northern suburbs. Lets hope it doesn't deviate to the right, shear profiles are conducive to strong tornadoes. (18z special sounding, current near-storm sfc ob shows 70/61 with 15kt out of se) Any news streams out of DFW?

EDIT: Confirmed tornado in sw KS near Johnson. Mike U is on this storm.

Nice supercell heading into Parker County, TX now tornado warned. Only moving 25MPH to the NE. The velocity couplet doesn't look too strong as of now, but the supercell is nice and isolated tracked right along the warm front. Another cell just SW of that one that may be the next player.

Dang I hope some of you Texas chasers are getting some good stuff!
 
But the one of the storms W of DFW is now tornado warned, and the one to the south of it is getting well organized....

The cold core setup has panned out in classic fashion. Mike Umschied is currently watching a large tornado west of Ulysses, KS. A mini string of pearls looks to form within the next few hours from the KS/CO border into the OK Pan.

No surface-based instability there - so it's not likely those will tap into the BL. As a result, large hail should be the primary hazards with those storms - bill
 
Typically impressive CC set-up. T/td spreads were about 3F near that storm... I'm guessing about any tornado out there today will look like a biggie!
