• 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.

CIN dramatically weakening over the region... SPC mesoanalysis shows >2000j/kg surface-based and mean-layer CAPEs across LA and into MS/AL. The main threat appears to be large hail and damaging winds... Although some weak low-level veering could yield a brief, weak tornado.

We'll see.

First initiation appears to have developed in an area with relatively lower LFC heights. Believe we should still keep an eye on extreme E Texas and central LA - sig. tornado index reaches 1.0 if convection develops just south of the blue box.
 
Yes, I'm still keeping a close eye on west central LA. Fort Polk Radar shows line building towards the SW, into a more unstable airmass with lower LFC heights. Still looking for any chance of tornado to occur to the south and perhaps even west of the blue box.
 
Whoa... I really love the storm I'm seeing headed for the city of Tallulah right about now. Excellent rotation with it and a TOR has already been issued... the possible tornado is riding over US-80 right now. If you were on I-20 just west of Richmond then you'd be in perfect view of this storm! I wouldn't be suprised at all if there was a tornado on the ground right now.

Avoid the core if you're out there right now... baseball hail is likely inside it with VIL at 55 DBZ!

Funnel cloud reported by trained spotters as the storm went over Vicksburg. This thing has reorganized and is becoming a long track supercell. Looking rather classic attm.
