Talk thread for the 6/29 event. I originally had a forecast here, but moved it to a forecast thread...
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.
Word out of southern Wisconsin offices ( MKX, ARX and WISCWX ) is that we may be looking at a classic derecho type setup. Look for storms to develop Wed. afternoon in IA/MN with supercells/tornadoes possible early, evolving into a very large forward-propagating MCS with damaging winds likely, some in excess of 80-90 MPH, across WI/N IL/MI.
If this pans out as such I will be stowing away the patio furniture and making sure the chainsaw is in working order. :wink:
It's a dream come true :lol:

Not yet, i'm somewhat worried about possible convective feedback issues the models maybe having, which would mess up thier idea of how strong the low will be, wind fields, etc.
That said, it should be a pretty decent event. The tornado threat in MN/IA kinda reminds me of 5-30-98 and we know what happened overnight that day.[/b]
POTENTIAL FOR A CONCENTRATED CLUSTER OF TORNADOES ALSO APPEARS TO EXIST ATTM -- PARTICULARLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF MN / WI AHEAD OF SURFACE LOW / INVOF WARM FRONT...WHERE BACKED / SELY LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS ANTICIPATED.

Now back to 6/29/05.... everything is nearly IDENTICAL to 6/23/04. Nearly too perfect I believe. Warm front in perfect location, cold front moving in, 3000-3500 cape, 500 m2/s2 helicity and an EHI of 5 to 6 all in the same area!!!! In conclusion, SW/SC WI is my target for initiation around 5 to 6 pm!!!!!
Also, this nice little quotation from the SPC:
POTENTIAL FOR A CONCENTRATED CLUSTER OF TORNADOES ALSO APPEARS TO EXIST ATTM -- PARTICULARLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF MN / WI AHEAD OF SURFACE LOW / INVOF WARM FRONT...WHERE BACKED / SELY LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS ANTICIPATED.
I may be shooting myself in the head, but I believe SW and possibly SC WI will be outlooked HIGH risk on the DAY 1 outlook.

There is one key difference, Tim-moisture and instability will be MUCH better than they were on 6/23/04. T/Td was only about 75/60 on that day compared to 90/70-75 forecast for tomorrow! :shock:
