• 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.

After looking at the 3/14 (00 init) models, I am really starting to like north-central NC for some early evening supercells, possibly tornadic. There will be marginal but effective instability with backing of surface winds due to a strengthening surface low moving across TN and VA. I would prefer higher dewpoints but 55-60 should be enough for north-central NC. Upper level support is good with approaching jetmax though there is a tendency to shift to NW flow by later Saturday evening on both GFS and WRF. Helicity is forecast from the 300-400 and localized higher amounts. I am really liking the Burlington area (between Greensboro and Durham, NC) There will be an early Saturday morning storms, then a break before the main show. I am concerned that the best storms in my forecast area will occur at dusk. I'll have to make a decision tomorrow about activating my WX-WORX. Since I am off Saturday, a chase is likely.
