• 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.

Somewhat of an interesting setup developing on Monday across portions of E. KS, MO, and IL for tomorrow. An area of low pressure is forecasted by both the NAM and GFS to move NE along a cold front. The winds near and east of the Low should remain backed a little out of the south across a good chunk of Central IL through early evening. With ehi near 1-2 , cape near 2500, and li's near -6, it should be sufficient for severe storms (a few supercells possible early on) to develop in the early afternoon and last through early evening. The tornado threat appears very low ATTM and should be mainly across east Mo eastward into Central IL with any supercells that might manage to develop early in the afternoon. SPC has that area hatched for a slight risk for day two. More than likely its just going to be a multicellular storm mode especially later on in the late afternoon through early evening time frame. It has been a while since I have chased and am getting a little SDS so I might venture out after I get off work at 2:30 and see what develops. It is of course not set in stone yet about tomorrow, but it at least does have my interest somewhat since I would only have a 2 hour drive at most from where I live. :)
 
Tonights NAM looks like crap compared to this mornings run. Going to sit this one out and save my gas money for another day. Maybe next time....
