• 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.

Another unique and complex forecast for today, much as yesterday.

Flow is quite weak, but where skies can clear, CAPE values may actually exceed yesterday. However, forcing will be weaker, unless an outflow boundary or two may enhance surface convergence. And as with yesterday, any surface interaction we can get just might yield something. Flash flooding will also be a big concern from Norman south into northern Texas.

If I can manage to sneak away from the office today, I might make a trek down Hwy 81. between Chickasha and Duncan areas. If anything, maybe get some lightning shots. This one's close to home, so why not?
 
While the setup today may not have great potential, I am cautiously optimistic about the possibility of a brief tornado or two near the outflow boundary. Heating on the north side of the boundary is commencing in earnest, as mid-upper level cloudiness continues to push northward. Surface winds in the vicinity of the boundary are quite backed, much as they were yesterday.

Unfortunately, flow today is somewhat weaker than it was yesterday and CAPE isn't as impressive as yesterday. However, given the large surface vorticity associated with the low center and the outflow boundary and the reasonably high 0-3 km CAPE, there might be just enough tilting/stretching of vorticity to get a tornado.
