• 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.

A day is only a bust if you don't get a decent storm. Those folks working the triple point today will still get storms today - and perhaps a pretty good one. Cluster of cells southest of Rapid City, SD looks posed to get the job done over the next hour or so as the left cell appears to be along a convergent boundary extending off to the northeast (note weak echo extending ne and slower, backed winds at PHP relative to points southeast). Not many roads to choose from - but incredibly scenic background for what will probably be an attractive storm. Cells there may not produce monster tornadoes, or tornadoes at all, but will likely still be aesthetic supercells when the road network allows access to them.
 
With cells now developing, please use the appropriate NOW thread if you wish to discuss ongoing convection. For those of us too far away from said convection who wish to discuss further possible development along the drylines, or those who wish to discuss tonight's possibility, please continue issuing this FCST thread.

FWIW, we're working towards Broken Bow in hopes of initiation along bulging / pushing dryline W of LBF.
 
Tornado Watch in Effect now for Western/Central SD. SevereStudios.com chase team is in Chamberlain, SD. We are attempting to setup our Live ChaseCam, should be online soon.

Strong Southerly winds to 35 mph here, humid, 85 Degrees. Strong storm in Shannon County... thinking about heading west on I -90 to Kennebec area.
 
I'm not saying it's a bust for everybody, but a bust here in SE SD. Looks liek we'll have a nocturnal wind event, SPC is calling for a Derecho type setup for tonight.

Ahh, the disadvantanges of being on a Fire Department. Have to stay close in case the s^^t hits the fan.
