Tornado warned cell North of Dallas / Ft Worth in Grayson county. I don't know if any of it will hold out for very long but there are a few good cells along there for December.

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.

The storm mode is a lot less sqall-ish than I figured it would be. A quick glance at some fcst soundings show that the environment is actually quite favorable for sfc based supercells right now but should peak shortly with the diurnal cooling beating out the moisture influx. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple brief spinups from around Durant to Dallas over the next hour.
EDIT: Quite a setting for 11pm in December:

Seems to be a fairly large amount of ongoing lightning in these storms too.

The other cell that was looking good is now warned going into Fairview. It also seems to be giving itself some separation for development.

I have just been tornado warned and the sirens are sounding, but everything has moved on past here. We got heavy rain, but that was it.
Eric Rydberg
Yep, they sounded the sirens after the rotation had moved north of Plano. Rotation now being reported between Allen and McKinney. Reports now coming in about trees and power lines down. Storm motion to the NE. Wall cloud reported north of Plano in Allen.
EDIT: 11:30 PM. Storm is starting to develop a hook on radar. Surface and mid-level shear markers. Power flashes east of McKinney between Princeton and Farmersville.

Storms are definitely becoming less squallish as they move NE.

For December, had quite an impressive bow echo/lewp move through northeastern OK with numerous severe thunderstorm warnings issued after it moved just east of the Tulsa metro. As of 0700 UTC, it was just crossing the MO/AR border.

About 0110 had 60 mph winds in the extreme southeast part of Cherokee County Kansas w/ heavy rain and a cool lightning show.
