• 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.

I'm not too worried. Temperatures are rebounding nicely, and the instability is already there. I'm waiting to see how that mess over in IA evolves, as that will likely be our action later today (at least here in MI).

NWS DTX states that if that system can organize and become dominated by the cold pool, it will likely reach forward speeds in excess of 60knts with widespread wind damage (aka significant derecho).

Well, i hope both robs are right, you seem to have more faith in this event then i do.

Also of note, i would watch along the cold front in northern wisconsin and the U.P later for a severe squall line with damaging winds. There are already severe storms in the arrowhead of Minn. and while dewpoints drop into the upper 50s/low 60s in this area, there still looks to be enough instablity for some severe storms.
