• 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.

Sat in Athens, OH and just enjoyed the weather for once. With the tropical-like pattern lately the storms have been moving through almost like clockwork, every day between 3-5pm. Today they had a little more punch, although the storms this far north were more pulse like and the ones that lasted took on the formation of segment/linear form and were not very photogenic. We got quite a bit of rain in a very short amount of time along with a few gusts nearing 30mph but nothing very noteworthy. Twenty minutes later there wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was muggy and hot again. Really was hoping the cold front would help forcing today but it remained to far west as it showed with convection through the day. All in all I will take the first real noteworthy convective activity we have seen this year in the area. Really lacking from past years. Definitely ready to head out in the plains if anything ever gets itself together to overcome this annoying persistent pattern.
