• 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.

Hi man, I'm watching the model, for middle afternoon and evening its not bad the setup for the Greensburg area, ondulation at 500 hpa and good vorticity at 700 hpa with a little closed low in extreme west KS. LLJ could be good after 3-4 pm.

We are driving from Wichita to Grensburg... what do you think?

Looks like you are in a good spot Niccolo. A nice cu field is developing over Kiowa County (Greensburg). Moisture is really low keeping LCLs well into the 2000+ range but CAPE values are 2500 j/kg over SC KS/NW Ok with the cap beginning to break in SC Kansas down into Oklahoma. I would expect a few high based hailers but not much more.
 
Looks like you are in luck. I see storm initiation on the VIS SAT in South Central Kansas moving N-NE. there's also a line of storms moving thru Eastern Colorado in a E-SE direction. Either way you will have plenty of storm options. Good Luck and Good Storm Chasing!! :) LJK.

Looks like storms are firing up in Eastern Colorado, heading E-SE and convections are going up in South Central Kansas, moving in N-NE. One of our foreign storm chasers, Niccolò Ubalducci, is in the Greensburg area in Kansas. Thought I would start a NOW thread for this area. Good luck in your storm chasing!! :D LJK.

The cell northwest of Pratt has some dry microburst potential the next few minutes. After that, play outflow boundaries for possible sequential microbursts.
 
I'm watching the high based cell, nothing of special, the moisture is very low today... but we are waiting for!
