• 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.

Calm before storm

Hello storm chasers,

I like to see this sub-forum for education. This is from where we have to start before to chase. I'm happy to see it at the top of stormtrack forum list!

Look what I caught today with wrf. You can see the calm conditions before the front:

During the last similar weather condition, the wind before the front was strong, while after it the wind was weaker. It's a question of the pressure gradient, but in the both situations we had a cold front - very similar at the sea level pressure map at all and no calm zone, but here is not the same.

Any thoughts? I guess it is the same as with the intense and curved jet streams - the ageostrophic wind is acting toward the jet stream.

The winds here are not stormy, but it's a nice example how the wind can be calm before the storm.

Cheers,

Angel
