Storms starting to initiate south of Sioux City ... seemed the right time to start a NOW-cast.

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.

It seems the storms near and north of the boundary are struggling with the cap but the storms which formed south of the surface low have gotten healthier as they approach the moist axis near the boundary. The boundary has sagged south this afternoon to the NE/SD border and the northernmost cell is heading straight for it, just south of Sioux Falls, SD. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they intersect...and that storm could very well be the only survivor this late in the day. The good news is, there are still at least 2 and a half hours of daylight for the chasers out there. Good luck all!

Verne and Michael Carlson bailed on the Northeast Nebraska target and casually intercepted the Cherry County storm in North-Central Nebraska which was warned for several hours.. he posted a cell phone shot on his blog which definately made it look like storm of the day today. I'm sure he'll be posting higher quality pics and a log on it later tonight as he's making his way south to Ogallala for the night in anticipation of tomorrow's setup...
