• 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's a long shot today - cap is pretty large. However the energy is substantial. The hodographs look awesome, especially KBKX and KMHE. Mitchell is looking the best today. It'd be nice to see something get going. I haven't heard thunder in two days. :( The surface streamlines will support that southerly flow. Temps are already going to be pretty high today. We shall see what we shall see. Good luck to anyone wanting to tempt at it...I'll be at the Outback in Sioux Falls tonight. Funny how these things time themselves together.

Just saw that the SPC put eastern SD and most of MN in a slight for tomorrow.
 
I've been watching today and especially tomorrow. Looks like it will be an late initiation if storms fire in South Dakota. Models are showing potential MCS overnight from SD into MN/IA. FSD has said pretty much nothing about these chances which is strange. Good luck if you see anything.. I'm hoping for some more rain and some nice lightning if this thing comes through overnight.
 
I saw the better chances in northern MN but it seems like a small pocket of chance for Mitchell/Huron area. I doubt it will produce, but like Jayson, I'd be happy with rain and lightning tonight.
 
Because I'm just post happy today I guess... Initiation expected over the central ND/SD border in 1-3 hrs. They are talking supercells that will probably go linear after a while. It's bound to be a noisy night, that's for sure. Maybe my Mitchell/Huron target won't be so bad after all?
