Leaving Fremont, NE and moving west a little to Columbus. Cu Trying to break cap, but not succeeding yet.

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.

Satellite shows the most intense convection in the far southwest corner of the tornado watch box in Nebraska. That is also the only place showing any returns on radar.

One cell seems to be exploding near Beaver City, NE. This could be the start of a few supercells. I would head towards Grand Island, cell could be there around 7PM. CAPE is near 2500 where the cell is forming and EHI is near 5 just to the northeast in the watch box.

Yep
Agreed, according to visible satellite, definately looks like initiation is underway. Now is the time to start getting all the info you can and heading toward the exploding towers to get in position to move to intercept mode.

Decent tower going up north of Omaha. Photo from a few minutes ago here (kept it small for people on the road):

It's still struggling with the cap, but it's trying.

Sitting in Shuyler, NE, right now. CU field is really bunching up. Fingers crossed on this -- hope I'm not too far west.

New Cell has blown up in NW Hall CO, NE. SRH near 350 where this cell is forming and SRH are aproaching 600 about 50 mile NE of this cell. Cell has gone from 0 DBZ to 45 DBZ in 15 minutes.

Tornado warnings...Howard and Buffalo counties in Nebraska.
Edit: The warned cell is just on the corners of Howard and Buffalo counties. Your wx radios are probably saying moving N at 15mph, the actual past is just east of north.

Developing tornado expected to be near Boelus at 7:05. Farwell at 7:40 and Elba at 7:45 according to storm motion of the most dangerous part of the storm...
This storm has intensified from nothing to a tornado-warned storm in 30 minutes, this is definately the storm to be on.

For our folks who were in Columbus, NE, I would head south down US 30 and then pick up SR 92 west towards St. Paul. The supercell will cross over St. Paul in about 45 minutes. About ten miles east of ST. Paul should be a good view of the storm from the southeast.
