Well I think I may have seen my biggest storms ever today or something was wrong with Radar Like 10 or 15 storms in TX panhandle with 90+ DBZ!!!! Does that actually happen or was there a glitch?

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.

It's definitely a glitch of some sort. You can tell that it just doesn't look right. Even the normally weaker returns are pulling in strong returns that just look weird. I have no idea why though!

I don't know what the technical term for it is, but it looks like it hasn't switched into "Storm Mode"? It seems that when there is very little precip around, the radars run in a different mode that is much more sensative.

I did a few doubletakes myself when seeing that.. However, to quote Mike Johnson from today's NOW thread:
Mike Smith
The radar went out of calibration. This can happen for a number of reasons. The velocity data was good, the reflectivity was far "too hot."

I noticed this too and assumed the AMA reflectivity was too sensitive. However, the location of the Baron shear markers still looked accurate. TM

Yea looks like the Radar Calibration coefficient is WRONG.
