That was insanely informative. Thank you.

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.

I look forward to seeing more of these types of descriptions. This is incredibly good stuff Tim. I learned quite a bit more about forecasting and the thought process that goes into analyzing and using the theory instead of just talking about what the models say.

Thank you. I know so little so I'm grateful for everything I can pickup from the pros here, even if it's only little bits that I understand right now.

Thanks Tim. One of the reasons I joined Stormtraack was to better educate myself.
My H.S. son is also very interested in storm science and this is a perfect tutorial on what he might expect to see in college classes.
Cheers.

I'd like to make a suggestion. Maybe the Mods can be requested to make one detailed forecast post every calendar quarter similar to what Tim did here. I think it would keep content like this up for learning experience, allow the Mods to be a visible to some of the readers, as well as give many of the readers a taste of how people develop their forecast with their own personal tendencies.
Thoughts??

The moderators aren't necessarily the best source for learning how to forecast. We're not all meteorologists. I went to school for computer graphics and programming, and most of my forecasting knowledge is based off of things I've learned here or other sites. I can give you some pointers on what to look for when forecasting severe weather, but I don't think I'm the best person to be leading in depth discussions on forecasting. I do contribute fairly regularly in the forecast threads for setups I'm considering chasing... does that count? I encourage anyone though, to start your own tutorials here even if you are an "amateur" forecaster. Somebody wil learn something and others can help critique.
