• 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.

Things were kinda quiet tonight, almost too quiet :shock: For the record, there was actually no, zero, nada tornadoes reported today. :( There were 26 storm reports posted by the NWS, of which 16 were hail reports. Most of them were in CO, NM and TX. File your first-hand chase reports even though you went out just for the "fun" of it. Thanks. 8)
 
The report I did have here for 6/18 has been moved over to the new 6/18 thread. Judging from what I see here on the 6/19 thread, I wish I was back in Santa Fe, where I was much of last month!
 
Well, its amazing what a little moisture at 7000 feet can produce. I chased numerous supercells (mostly hp) across e. colfax county in NM today starting around 4pm. Storms kept firing off the Sangres and moving across colfax cty. Best storm was around 5pm near Maxwell. Nickel sized hail covered the ground in places. I also observed some funnel clouds at this time and watched a rather disorganized wall cloud try and get its act together. The storm became tornado warned just north of Farley but all I observed was rotating scud. I love chasing in E NM because its so scenic! Also I didn't see one other chaser today! 8)

As I was heading home through Santa Fe I saw a nice small tstorm with lots of lightning. Also, I stopped to take a picture just off of I25 of some hail fog. Apparently a storm had moved over this area earlier and dumped some serious hail on this area. The hail was 3 inches deep in spots---and that was after it had time to melt!
