• 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.

I'm surprised no one has been discussing this so far...

Large risk for severe thunderstorms along OK-KS-MO-AR. Blue Box was just issued for this vicinity, and there are already numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings Active in south Central MO, assuming to spread SSE. There is a cold front along this area, and it's assuming the shape of a line segment/line alread. It's also getting some fuel from the storms die north of it. There is also a Pre-Frontal Trough around it, to cause some more potentail severity. If you look on SAT you can even see a huge cumulus field with many TCU's near the area. There seems to be also some pretty good deep layer shear, and MLCAPE is in the 4000 J/KG range.

Looks like these could be some pretty good storms. I'd say we could even see some supercells, but if there were any I would say they would transition into a line/cluster quickly.
 
Numerous meso rotations in the line in MO, with quite visible rotation, on the latest velocity scan. There have been Wind Reports and one hail report with this storm one gust of 75 MPH reported in Golden City, MO.
 
Four TVS' in the MO/AR storm. Some of these storms have really high tops. I can see VERY strong rotation in the storm in AR/MO right now, and it has so many couplets. I am surprised there has not been a tornado warning yet...
 
Line looks to be going strong, but it looks like the souther part of the line is becoming outflow dominant, from a gust front forming just north of the southern part of the line. It's pushing out a lot of cool air, and undercutting a lot of the shear-based rotation.
