• 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 day in KS is getting kicked off NW of Dodge City with a pair of cells which one is now Tornado warned. GR2A makes it look like they might be nice looking photo ops even if they aren't producing yet.

Edit: The second cell has now been upgraded from SVR to TORN Warned as well.

Edit: I guess they did produce
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OBSERVED A TORNADO ON THE GROUND 5 MILES NE OF INGALLS.

The tornado that was reported by law enforcement is just SW of Kalvesta.

Enough sitting around. I think I'm going to load up the car and head out. It could be an interesting day!

I sure wish I was on this storm in SW KS that is only moving 5-10 mph.... and has a nice little hook, I was wondering with the NW movement would it be anti cyclonic tornado if it produced again?
 
Absolutely beautiful, isolated storm on radar with a classic signature. Hopefully, a chaser or two are there. Has to be an impressive tornado given the multiple reports, slow movement, isolation and radar.

The velocity signature appears to be getting junked by ground clutter on GR2. Makes it hard to see the outbounds. Inbounds are fine.

EDIT: Junking gone...impressive G2G shear now showing up on 0.5 and 0.9 degree tilts. Good BWER aloft, too.

Just read on TweetDeck that a house east of Kalvesta, KS was hit by a tornado about 2:20 p.m. Central. Three tornado warning in KS now with the cell due south of Hanston being the most recent warned storm. GR3 from DDC really lighting up fast.
 
Currently sitting south of the OK Hwy 14 and US Hwy 64 intersection and watching this tornado warned storm. Nothing too exciting...had one attempt with some good motion in the wall cloud...but the RFD has wrapped all the way around and now I think we have an attempt at a cycle. I'm not too hopeful...it's cold outside!
 
Just got off the phone with Mike O'Keeffe he is reporting a large wall cloud with intense rotation on the cell near Alva.
