• 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.

there has been a rather long lived cell in southwest nebraska that is currently severe warned for quarter sized hail and 70 mph winds! the cell was tornado warned about a 1/2 hour ago with reportedly a confirmed tornado on the ground near cottonwood canyon state park about 15 miles east of north platte. not good timing considering this is a holiday weekend so i'm sure the park is pretty full of campers. appears to be in an area of 1000 j/kg cape and somewhat lower lcl heights. shear isn't real great though generally with 0-3km srh of only about 150!
 
Interesting how the circulation on that storm appeared to be on the northwest side of it. Doubtful it was a supercell, but perhaps it ingested some mesoscale vorticity briefly when it began rotating. Rotation has significantly weakened.
