• 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 am really surprised that spc did not slap a moderate risk for a good chunk of MS for today. The RUC is screaming tornadic supercells late this afternoon and early evening and a few tornadoes could be strong. SRH near 500 m/s, li's near -4, cape around 1250 j/kg, and nice backed surface winds. Not to mention there should be some clearing taking place across the area per visibile satellite this morning. Yikes!!!! :eek:
 
We're near Lincoln, IL as of now. Looks like the new target area will be in west IL. Visible satellite isn't showing anything too good, so hoping the instability will be sufficient to keep the storms in MO going for a while into IL. The tornado warned storm to the north looks decent, although quite messy despite a nice looking couplet. One good sign at this point is the storms seem to be doing okay in a rather low CAPE environment, so let's hope the trend continues.
