Storms beginning to fire in and around Iowa. Blotches being reported as we speak!

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.

Save your gas ya'll...unless you want a new windshield. Those storms are elevated, developed above the boundary layer, and will most likely be putting out golf balls at the max. Beginning of next week is the big show. I'm thinking moderate risks from SW TX up to ND. Have a ball and I'll be a long distance nowcaster thanks to Al Gore and the Internet.

Just out of interest...The DTX Convective Init model initiates convection in western IA around 23Z - http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dtx/?page=cidisplay I guess we will see how it does...
The model also appears to miss the convection located across northeast IA/WI/IL, so its not perfect...
