• 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.

6/25/04 FCST: Central High Plains

Friday looks to be the beginning (Thursday too, but higher LCLs) of a multiple-day period of Northwesterly flow severe weather setups on the high Plains of Colorado and surrounding areas. Moisture will still be somewhat limited on Friday (mid 50s dewpoints). If we can increase the surface flow a tad, the shear will be favorable for tornadoes. Instability will be limited by dewpoints and not-as-spectacular lapse rates. However, MLCAPE should still exceed 1000 J/kg. However, instability will increase toward the TX panhandle. Shear, albeit weak everywhere, will be most favorable north, where the 500 mb flow reaches approx 30 kts.

Actually I was originally logging on here to post about 6/24 because SPC up until about an hour ago was mentioning supercells and a few possible torns. I looked at the ETA and didn't see how that was exactly possible in Kansas and was going to inquire opinions here. However just before that I checked SPC again and they updated and eliminated the mention of tornadoes in KS. So perhaps a mute point.

As for 6/25 and northwest flow...is there anybody that likes or can use northwest flow for tornadoes?

Saturday a Better Day for Chasing

Chris,

I agree with you on this one. SPC took the SLIGHT risk out for today. But they have left the SLIGHT risk area in the CO High Plains for Saturday. So rest up tonight, have a better chase day tomorrow!! 8) LJK.
