• 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.

Just pushing out and looking at 06Z SmartModel output. Seeing some good potential for some pretty good snowfalls. Kansas City, Topeka looking at 8-10" over the next 24 hours. The heaviest snowfall period is looking from 20Z on the 24th to 02Z. Looking at 1.2" snowfall rates in that area. Thoughts.
 
Heaviest snow band has setup from just north of Lincoln to south of Omaha, in Bellevue right now, the snow is coming down at a moderate clip and the band just seems to be sitting on top of us with movement to east which really does nothing to the snowfall rates right now. We aren't in the WWA but i wonder if this heavy band sits on top of us long enough we might get bumped into that criteria.
 
RE: Nebraska; HRRR has areas SE of an Omaha - Lincoln line picking up an additional 3 inches or so.

I'm not too excited about the MI aspect. HRRR *barely* brings the snow north of Detroit. Of course, it only goes out to 8z as of right now... but it looks like the comma head may even pass further south than anticipated. 21z RUC shows snow developing around 9z, ending around 15z... so we're only talking about 5-6 hours of meager snowfall rates at best. Looks like a 3-5 incher around these parts to me. Maybe a few isolated 6 inch amounts closer to the OH/IN border.
 
Latest 00Z SmartModel output showing the snowfall potentials starting to shift to the IL-IN areas now. Some snowfall potential are: Quincy: 8.4", Decatur 8.9", Danville: 9.2", and Lafayette:6.4". A bit further east looking at Erie and Cleveland with the highest potential of around 12" in the next 24 hours. Showing a few hours of 1.5" or 1.6" snowfall rates for the heaviest areas. I have uploaded the complete list for other cities in the areas.
