• 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.

Judging from the radar loop on weatheroffice.com, it looks as though a nice supercell has fired and is traveling eastward north of Yorkton, SK. That's pretty far north, so I'm not confident about the tornadic potential with possible moisture concerns.

It is severe warned, however, and looks pretty impressive on radar.
 
Tornado warning on the supercell about 35-40 miles northwest of Bismark, ND, which is showing some rotation in the past few low-level SRV scans and has rapidly intensified in the last half hour. Convection has fired along the sfc trof / convergence line in a relatively dry boundary layer. LCL heights, per RUC mesoanalysis, are >2000m AGL across much of the inflow sector. SBCAPE being a widespread >3000j/kg and 0-6km shear being +50kts across much of the warm sector will certainly favor a sustained supercell, but the dewpoint deficits should keep tornado potential to a minimum -- unless storm-scale influences can help lower cloud base.

Tornado warning in the Kandahar, SK area, which is due north of Regina. Apparantly there has been a tornado reported with this cell by the RCMP.

Looks amazing on radar!
 
The temp/dew point spreads have been much lower in the SE corner of SK than in ND this evening where the two impressive supercells have been occuring this evening north of Estevan, SK. Ruc analysis has approx 300m^2s^2 0-1km helicity as well as very good 0-3km helicity. It has been around 73 over 64 in Estevan this evening. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see some tornado reports up there north of the boarder. I know tornadovideos.net is up there again so we shall find out soon.
