• 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 thought I might start a thread on the possible setup tomorrow across E KS/W MO. A front stalled close to I70 will become unstable tomorrow afternoon as dewpoints rise into the low 60s. Steep lapse rates and deep vertical shear will contribute to a few supercells. Unfortuntely, the low level jet is to move out and limit the low-level shear as well as little vertical shear will limit severe potential. I will continue to watch this as it would be a local chase.
 
I am driving out of KC right now and targeting W Kansas along I70 and points north. The warm front seems like a good play for tornadic supercells late this afternoon into the evening. A good combo of instability and shear is present along the WF and should be focus for supercell development. It is also where we will target tomorrow as well.
