• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

  • 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.

Our surface pressure bottomed out at 983mb about 5pm this afternoon here locally. The lowest pressure that I saw on the surface map was 977 near Waterloo earlier, but I'm sure it dipped a bit lower than that at some point.

Here locally, we never really got into the very high winds that were expected. We've had some gusts a bit above 40mph, but not anywhere close to the 60mph gusts that looked possible earlier. I think Mike H was right in that the lack of a decent high pressure nearby lowered the winds from what they might have been. Nevertheless, a very windy night. We've now picked up nearly 1" of snow. Which is interesting considering 9hrs ago we were in the lower 50s.
 
Des Moines Airport reporting a wind gust near 60 degrees according to ch13 and all 99 counties are under a disaster declaration. When is the last time this has happened?
 
To answer the question about the lowest pressure seen, there were several reports of 978 across Iowa. The lowest I saw while watching it today was in Vinton, IA where the pressure dropped to 977.5 at a reading taken 4:24 PM.
