• 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.

It's just after 11AM and I'm still sitting here at my place in Omaha. Concerned about the cloud cover. I hope it starts burning off in the next few hours.

I also like the Ainsworth area for combination of shear and the precip area (based on 15Z RUC); however I am concerned about the winds becoming more veered. I would suggest more toward Bassett or O'Neill. Check out the surface RUC for 15Z.

I am concerned about cloud cover and also being between the jet maxes on the 500mb level.

Interesting: Is that a mesolow forming in SE South Dakota per the RUC 00Z.

Storms firing up in NE

We should be ready to start chasing!! I see no less than five storms firing up between Ainsworth and O'Neill in Northeast NE, moving to the NE. The NWS has not yet issued a watch box yet and we should be expecting a NOW thread to be started in following these storms. While the radar is showing a general line of showers streching from O'Neill SW into SW part of NE, these storms have fired up behind that line.

This is a good day for chasing!! 8)
