• 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.

Absolutely INSANE GFS Run

I agree with some of you above... those maps for June 6th are just SICK!:eek: I am just looking at latest WRF 12z which confirms incredible setup for ne NE into se SD...man, it makes me thinking to book a flight and return to the Plains for few days.
 
I have Wednesday firmly on my "willing to take a day off if the setup is even a remote cousin of the current model run" calendar. I'm trying not to get too excited because it's a few days out and I've been burned by the "believe what the models tell you three days out" game before, but damn, that would be a nice setup in my back yard.
 
As they say from that 70's show...burn burn burn burn lol... i hope this pan's out i will really keep an eye on this, i have wed off so works out for me but im almost betting there will be some changes in the next few days.....
 
I just wanted to clarify that I meant if the strong capping inversion (which is supposed to ruin the day Wed) is still there in another day, I'll start believing it. As it is, I'm keeping Wednesday as my first "take off" day from work for what looks to be a busy weekend. Until those h7 and h85 temps recede a bit and precip starts showing up, I'm more intrigued by Fri-Sat.
 
I can't say too much because it's classified computers and systems. The cap will be quite strong thru much of the day, but the models we run in the military, at least here in JAX, show it erroding by mid afternoon with incredible convective activiy with tops possibly as high as 60,000ft! Shear profiles are very similar to the day Greensburg was pummeled and this could become a very interesting day to say the least. I have a good friend on leave in his hometown of Harlington, NB and I'll keep him abreast and he'll keep me informed on conditions he will witness. If I could flip the chaser switch, I'd press the green button as good to go!
