• 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.

Good day all,

With no way to chase the "big stuff" in the Central USA (stuck at work) - I caught some of the interesting storms in Florida on Thursday (June 18). An MCS propagated all the way down the state from northern FL near Jacksonville to south of the Lake Okeechobee in Palm Beach, County. I caught the storm complex after work in Central Palm Beach county along Highway 27 at about 6:30 to 7 PM on the edge of SVR WW valid until 7 PM.

Above: Interesting funnel develops on the updraft base just as it is getting under-cut with 60 to 70-MPH outflow near Highway 27 in Central Palm Beach Couty, FL on June 18, 2009. Interesting green glow from the hail.

Above: Intense outflow winds (60 to 70-MPH) and microburst impact stage (with dust plume) east of Highway 27 in Central Palm Beach Couty, FL on June 18, 2009.

These storms were enhanced by the outflow (cool pool) from the north with it's associated outflow boundary / gust front which intersected another N-S oriented boundary (possible sea-breeze front / outflow from earlier cool pool over SE FL). Hail to dime-sized and 70 MPH winds were associated with this severe cell (multicell cluster / line segment).
