• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • 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.

Any hope for the rest of the JUL/AUG season?

Well, we got ripped off again. A huge complex of storms approached early this morning, only to evaporate into nothingness as it hit eastern IA. There is essentially no more rain chances until maybe sometime next week? We're now about a foot below normal since Jan 1.

Since my garden is toast, I think I'm going to plant a few cactus, and see how they do.......
 
We got ripped off here too....although we had a 5 minute downpour...which is an improvement a little. :roll: It did very little to replentish my duck pond however (poor guys, we have to buy them a kiddie swimming pool tonight so they have somewhere to swim at least!!).

There were some NICE storms (not severe, however) that went to the north along Canadian border w/Ontario, and a nice line that was off to our south from about Minneapolis trailing back into Nebraska. But the "line" was broken in the Duluth area again.

Well, we can always hope for Day 3's outlook from SPC- MN/WI/IA are in the slight risk again on Wednesday!

Hey Robert, you had me confused at first. I saw your icon on the left and it looked like a longhorn cattle head with a line through it. It said "Storm Chasing Sucks", but the picture was No Longhorn Cattle. LOL! I finally kept looking at it and eventually figured out what it really was.
:lol:
