Dan G also provided some useful links 

My top links

Live data

NWS Satellite 1km vis and IR (useful for night), click to zoom

NEXRAD radar via WUnderground, click and drag to zoom, use links at top to add storm cell trackers and warnings, also the help page is well worth reading

Mesoscale analysis index page these combine radar, satellite, surface obs, upper air obs, and the RUC model analysis, updating every hour (the radar every ten minutes). There are several sectors which sometimes change so I'm not linking directly, but here's a top tip: remove the "2" from "index2.html" and you'll get a slightly-simplified version which is I find is quicker to use.

Overlay map overlay IR sat and many other major parameters, very useful

Weather warnings again via WUnderground, click to zoom, and no more capitals!

NWS reports severe wx reports as they come in

County maps of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas


Forecasts

SPC forecasts via WUnderground - no more capitals! Also look for links to tomorrow and day 3 in right sidebar


RAP model output all the models, nice charts, easy to use


CoD Nexlab model output all the models and more charts but more complex

NWS SREF models seriously complicated but it's all there! Every chart you could think of

Lightning Wizard I use his CAPE and shear charts mainly

Reflectivity forecast output from a special 4km WRF model formatted to look like rain radar in hourly intervals. Suprisingly accurate.

Chase reports

My links to chase reports I'm keeping a list of links to chase teams (listed by surname) and their live trackers; this will change as I add and remove teams


Stuff

Best charts thread nice thread on Stormtrack of the best charts to use (useful as there's a lot of charts!)

Mike Hollingshead how-I-chase this guy is a chasing natural and brilliant photographer. Also his Storm 101 guide

Satellite-derived soundings I just think this is neat
