• 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.

I'm (along with Shane Adams and Kurt Hulst) at the Best Western in Nebraska City, NE. As of the current data, we probably won't have to move far from where we are... And by the current looks, I think today will have tornadoes...
 
Looking at satellite, there appears to be two areas of interest: NNE of Norfolk, and ESE of Columbus. The Cu near Norfolk has a little better vertical development, probably owing to a weaker cap. Initition might occur up there first, but I think the southern area of interest could pay higher dividends in the long run.

I notice Cu is finally starting to develop along the cold front in N KS...our upper level support may be arriving.

The cap is still winning for the time being, though.
 
I starting to see a top in York county in the 30 – 35 k range. Currently sitting Fremont, looking at the line n of Norfork, or maybe sw to Buttler County
 
latest satelite image shows what appears to be a line of towering cu developing in the cloud deck west of Lincoln. We'll be staging in fremont. Show looks to be about to begin:)
 
Several showers popped up north of fairbury, NE. They have sustained themselves for several scans!! Movement: east

EDIT: I would imagine to see a watch box in the next few minutes

For the earliest convection appering now, certainly looks like the chasers who positioned near Nebraska City made an excellent target. The new convection will be well matured and likely very severe between current location and Nebraska City, and moving due east is excellent positioning... Certain however for more convection as the evening goes on for those farther north.
 
Just got to the Chick Fil-A in Sioux City. Got my car repainted with bug guts 3 miles north of Elk Point, SD. Thinking about going southwest from here. Bunch of small stuff overhead right now, nothing much to speak of yet.

TORNADO WATCH 311 JUST ISSUED
