• 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.

Hello guys!

On a chase on june 15th, I captured a cloud feature that looks like a wall cloud, but I don't think it is one.

Here are 2 pics of it:

And a wider view:

So.. what do you think? Is this feature caused by inflow?
 
My first thought was that this is indeed some kind of inflow feature.
Kinda bizarre but cool looking!
A perfect "sheriffnado" if there ever was one.
 
I agree with Joel, based on the position of the main updraft tower and the shape and texture of the cloud ... it looks like an inflow feature of some sort. Reminds me of a few we've been seeing here in Colorado on some skinny towers along the Front Range.
 
Footumulus. Can be precursor to bunions. :)

That does look like some sort of inflow. It's under the main updraft in that tower. Notice on the "lowering" that it's pointy on one side only? That's the direction where the inflow is coming in from. Kinda like larger inflow bands or a beaver tail on a supercell, but in this case, is much smaller scale. Interesting find though!
 
It looks like an LP updraft base. I can see there are larger storms in the vicinity, but perhaps its something small being kicked up under the anvil/flanking line. I've seen similar, small LP cells under the anvils of larger storms.
 
Its obviously a kings foot hanging from the cloud he is on. His face is quite clear to the eye brows, eyes, nose and beard. He appears to have some type of crown on his head and as to what he is doing I will not outline that as you might see it differently than I.:D

Did he mean the shadowy cloud behind the foot-like feature, though?
