Tor Watch for much of Central OK and NC Texas just issued with storms developing along and west of the I 35 corridor.

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.

Interesting little shower moved over with pea size hail about a mile south of I-240 on Western in south OKC.

Severe cell heading NE out of Wichita Falls area. I'll hope to intercept near Ardmore if it works out.

The dryline is already mixing east in W. Oklahoma. Tds drop from the mid 60s to low 50s from Guthrie to SPS. Tds drop drastically out near Hollis <20 F.

dryline has a great Td gradient, but still SSW wind ahead of it over N TX, some S, but no local backing. Still great cape.

Pretty decent looking storms ongoing attm, but I have to admit I'm very skeptical of the chances for tornadoes, or even severity for an extended length of time with the wind fields as funky as they are. Last hour's (19Z) data from Mesoanalysis (and elsewhere) indicates SW sfc winds, ~W 850, SW 700. Though Td's are fine, I'm expecting these things to crap out and/or go linear pretty quickly. Bulk of PVA is still in AZ, so sfc L is not getting the job done.
I'm posting this because now I'll surely be wrong, and you guys in the field can score some good tubes.
I decided to sit this event out.

Im starting to wonder if the storms that are going on now and dying out now will produce any kind of boundaries that may serve to back the winds. This would obviously not help the current storms but more or less the ones still back to the W and others that may form in NC TX. Just a thought....
Has anyone seen the Giant cell blowing up, south of Odessa? Surface winds are looking more favorable for tornadoes....Cell is more decrete.....

just happen to glance at David Drummon's Live ChaseCam nice cell filling his camera lens. anyone know where he is located at? just wondering
Really starting to like the cell south of odessa, TX....Impressive on Radar.....

The storm between Archer City and Henrietta, TX definitely appears to be organizing quite a bit. Velocity is probably the most impressive so far since it has been around. Charles Edwards appears to be right in the perfect spot of the storm, so will be interesting to see his storm report. Hail size still looks crazy. Storm though appears to be surrounded, so we should have some good pics later on.
The two new cells back west of Throckmorton are shooting up pretty fast well. Probably see those SVR warned here before long. Chris Whitehead is heading towards there now.

The surface winds seem to have backed to the SSE b/w 5-15knts. The temperature and dew point spreads are little far apart seeing a 81/59 south of Henrietta by Graham. So i am guessing these are some what high based at the moment. I was looking at David D's cam and was wondering the same as to his position.

The hail core on that storm in Clay Co. is quite impressive likely at least baseball's (probably larger) falling just down wind of the updraft on that beast. Storms back to the SW have more easterly movement, so if they are able to remain isolated the movement will increase storm relative shear and helecity and those will be the favored storms for tornadoes.

4.25" hail in Scotland per media.
