• 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.

Went on my first chase of the year and wittnessed the following weather phenomena in Grundy County, Iowa:
1. Dime sized hail
2. Frequent CG and cloud to cloud lightning (very spectacular!)
3. Very heavy rain
4. Strong gusty winds

Was an excellent cure for my SDS!! :D
 
Well, I'm about ten miles from IA, and I didn't have anything too exciting to report...

But to add to this thread we had a few brief wind gusts above 40mph as the decaying gust front came through. The rain was briefly heavy, but I wouldn't say torrential lol. I witnessed absolutely no lightning or even small hail. It was still sort of interesting even though it was basically a brief shower.

I'd say the most interesting thing was how quickly it transitioned from completely sunny and very dry (73/35) in mid afternoon, to rain and higher humidities by late evening.
