A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

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.

Just pushed out 02Z Severe threat areas. Most favored region right now for Tornadic development seems to be shifting to N. AR-S. MO-W. MO. But starting to see some development finally in Southern OK, this area might need refocusing as it pushes into more favorable environments.

Storm moving over Caney looks violent. Velocities look impressive as well. Surprised this isn't tor warned to be honest. Storm is moving due east.
There is additional activity building to the NW and SW of the Tulsa Metro area.

the cell just e of shawnee ok is taking a linear shape as due to the mixing from the mcc (squall line) forming southwest of ada ok , but still could call for some attention because it is cut off and closer to the warm front, and mixing with some available shear and moist unstable air as it moves east.
update : MABE....... from what im seeing on radar lately, the mcc south of it just may over run it and choke it off, but well see , LOL

Surprised noone is still talking about the storm that produced earlier. It is still raging with reports of funnel clouds and baseball sized hail near Buffalo, MO and heading right towards Lebanon (my virtual chase target picked last night). Interesting how it didn't let the cold pool from the surrounding storms cut it off but actually manage to latch onto the northern edge and still work it as the gust front moves east...

There she goes... I just had to say something...
St. Louis about to get slammed by a bowing segment at the moment as well. Northern bookend vorticy is aimed right at the north metro.

05Z Smartmodel severe threat, I am seeing couple of high threat areas, one is the NW AR and SE MO this one has been there for the last few runs, looking for potential 65-75KT winds and 1.75" Hail in that area, and still the possibility of tornadoes in that region.
