We are moving south on Highway 77 towards Beatrice and we can see an anvil to the SW. GRL3 is showing signs of life in Jewell County in North Central to North East Kansas. We will be heading towards what we see in the distance and hope this is in response to the advancing warm front that is in that vicinity.

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.

Yea the tower is finally charging further up, nice puffy updraft from the backside. Looks like there is another tower going up ahead of the original one.

We became frustrated and checked into a motel in Beatrice, and now we're looking at the storms to our north in Gage county and to the west in Jefferson county on GRL3 wondering if we shouldn't throw our gear back in the car for another hour or two. They don't look too good to the naked eye, but we stand ready to go if anything changes for the better. The temperature and dewpoint spread is 88 and 48, which isn't what one would hope for that's for sure. I wish we would have stayed in Bellevue now, but what can you do when you get antsy and leave late in the day?

Mods can add SD to the list as well.
We're on the Tornado warned storm north of Mitchell, SD and viewed a couple of interesting lowerings from the south. Storm is still a bit high based but there is definately some motion.
EDIT: looking more and more outflowish...

sitting on I-29 just west of thurman, ia. drove thru the cell just south of plattsmouth and just experienced heavy rain. i'm now on the south side of the cells. theres a nice southeast breeze that is warm and actually doesn't feel totally dry, but the cloud bases are too high still. storm has gotten its act together on the west/southwest side though while sitting here.
