SigTor values are currently sitting around 4 across the area with VTP (Violent Tornado parameter) values around 5
Both those are high values

I will further blast the NWS radar, I have gone 20 minutes without an update. Maybe I feel I am entitled to bitch about this because (a), it's tax money funded, and (b), it used to be a lot better than it is now. Unless I still don't understand how to use it, that is surely possible.

Unless I still don't understand how to use it, that is surely possible. I don't think you're misunderstanding anything. It works okay on a Tuesday morning when there isn't much weather going on across the country. It's like they were surprised when Adobe flash was deprecated, despite that being telegraphed well in advance, and they are saying this is the best we can do right now |

Has there been too much shear closer to the metro? Seems to just be tearing these storms apart. They can't reach the height that's needed for further development.

What do you all think of that futurecast radar mode on the Fox2 weather app?

Storms south of 44 becoming supercelluar... low level jet is really kicking in now. 925 jet went from 30 to 40kts and 850 from 35-50kts over the past 2 hours.

Here is a picture of the supercell taken at the time of the Sadalia tornado was occurring.   |

The last time a supercell took that path (the southern cell) it was a bad situation. If it holds together look the hell out once it comes off the Ozark plateau.
