• 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.

Jon Merage just called and he is going out after the storm near Limon, CO that is tornado warned. The storm has been showing a TVS for the last 1/2 hour and in the last few scans has become a right mover. Tds are only 39F in Limon so the base might be a little high for a tornado to reach the ground.
 
Yeah; it was a pulse storm retaliating from the email I sent earlier in which I made fun of its size... now that Merage went after it, the storm should fizzle! Not too impressed; radar signature shows a TVS, but between the low Td and horrible shear, I would be surprised if that think produced anything severe at all; maybe some small hail and crazy rains, but definately no tornado.
 
LCL heights are extraordinarily high so I doubt the storm would be producing a tornado. However the Yuma County cell is interesting. Had good structure and a TVS for awhile...was thinking that it might have a chance but rotational base was pretty high.

Have been getting quarter sized hail (1.00" diameter) reports associated with VIL values of about 45-47...storms have maintained that so far...and thus expect a marginal hail threat through the next couple hours.

Real funny, Tony...Good One! :roll: Or, maybe the storms fizzled just because I merely though about heading out, but never actually went?? That kind of fuzzy logic surely explains why every would-be tornado outbreak, or even long-lived supercell, this season just "fizzled out"--all the chasers watching the dang things too hard on radar!! Yep, it's true: intense, focused brainwaves (esp. ones with imbedded SDS frequencies) have been known to kill off rotating updrafts prior to tornadogenesis--or didntcha-know?? :lol: :wink:
