Looks like Henderson County, TN is getting slammed with 2.37" inches hail!

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.

How could you possibly know the hail size down to the hundredth of an inch? :wink:

Watch out Bowling Green! The meso that has persisted for over 100 miles continues northeastward and is maintaining its rotational intensity. It's actually turned a bit more to the ENE in the past 10-15 mins, so it may end up actually passing just south of Bowling Green.

That storm headed toward Bowling Green has wrapped up on itself with a significant BWER/tornadocane style. Damaging straight-line winds are a good possibility with that storm as well as a tornado. Watch out Bowling Green is right!

I looked at the VIL values, and then at the POS, and POSH, and then estimated....

First tornado warning out for southeast Michigan. They must be seeing something I'm not because reflectivity values are quite low up there with no organized severe thunderstorm activity obvious on the radar.

Yes, the storm in Dickinson County, TN looks really centrifical.

Still some low level shear going on SW of Bowling Green, KY with the possibility of a tornado in progress. Man, these storms just don't wanna die. What a day.

That storm looks very nasty. Looks like a bow echo; but there is also a nasty mesocyclone near Charlotte, too

Hey all,
Sorry for the delayed post. I've been nowcasting for a couple of friends from Purdue who've been making a mad dash outta hell to keep up with those storms around Indy. Earlier, they reported seeing a funnel over there during the first tor warning (that one did NOT touch down). My god, if following these steamrollers on NEXRAD's been tough, can't even imagine how aggravating trying to keep up on the road must be!!:evil:
It's been very interesting nowcasting from seven time zones ahead (currently in Israel--about 1:30am my time)!
Anyway, despite the NUMEROUS tor warnings & TVSs, I think most of it was just moving WAAY TO FAST for anything (sustainable) to drop. That, and what little SBCAPE there was is obviously long gone.
They're still out there (passing thru Indy about now), so maybe they'll get some good shots of the LEWP flying thru.
I pray & hope this LEWP doesn't give us another sad disaster!!
My thoughts are with the folks affected by the worst tonight...

Edit: WOW--that's the nastiest LEWP I've seen in years!! God, I hope those people are heading underground!

The low level couplet was actually decent (60KNTS gate to gate on L3 data - haven't checked any L2 yet), and it's right on the warm front - enhancing the tornado risk... I agree though, it doesn't look organized on the BREF, and temps are currently sitting around 51F - Ouch.
Stuff from the south will likely advect, and I also see new development along the cold front.

That's one hell of a couplet. Gets more pronounced as you hit the higher tilts, too.

Very concerned about what the Nashville area is going to see from these storms in the next hour or two -- very strong couplet just north of the Charlotte area in Dickson County moving to the ENE/NE. Even if this particular cell misses the city to the north, there is another area of concentrated rotation near the Humphreys/Perry county line, which will likely track right up I-40 and into the Nashivlle metro.

" They must be seeing something I'm not because reflectivity values are quite low"
Don't look at reflectivity to find rotation, use SRM. It shows a nice couplet from time to time, it seemed to weaken past Dundee but now picking up again. FF report of a possible funnel near Maybee.
