• 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.

05/06/05 TALK: KS/NE/CO

We're in a hotel in DDC getting ready for tomorrow... But we'll likely go out after anything that forms a bit more closer to us (the closest storms are still about 100 miles away) later...
 
I just talked to Verne Carlson... he's hauling east from Wild Horse, Colo heading in the direction of Kit Carson to get on that cell. His Baron has had rotational skits on it for 30 minutes... looks incredible on radar.. the image below taken at 3:50ish MDT

Go Verne! BTW, he took battle wounds from a wall of tumbleweed earlier... scratches on his legs but is trucking on! A dedicated chaser!

2 inch hail reported south of Arapahoe on this cell!
 
Storms continue to slowly diminish across CO, although the supercellular storm in SW NE still has some severe potential...

I think the threat is pretty much over for tonight...
 
In Burlington, CO now, the storm that Tony mentions above fizzled out but I have the best structure I've seen all day with this cell nearing I-70 just west of here. Nice lowering on it with a feeder band going into it. Heading west of town for a better view! :D
 
Cell just north of Carlsbad, NM just went tornado warned. GRLevel3 showing 57 kts outbound and ~30 inbound. Looks pretty good on refelctivity as well.
