• 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.

Early this am I was favoring SE CO, but I am increasingly interested in NE CO/KS/NE borders. Morning satellite shows the front as an exceptionally subsident boundary which has been surging southwest, but appears on the past few frames to have slowed and hopefully will stall later today. Upslope flow will be abundant across the Front Range as the day progresses, but moisture is especially low in this region today.

LCLs from the RUC suggest 2000+ ft in SE CO with relatively lower bases expected in the NE PH/NE CO (still >1500 ft). I don't know how accurate the RUC CAPE forecast will be, but a gigantic area of CIN and CAPE hole will be in place around Lamar with only modest CAPE south of there. OTOH, the CAPE, Td's, and moisture into the low levels (including up to 850mb) appear better in the NE PH region, and the meager H5 winds likewise are better north. I like the contour of the dryline (a dry punch) which appears to arc into NE CO late in the day.

Now I'm waiting for the caffeine to kick in and the tea leaves to settle.

Adjusting west to KGLD...
