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.

Leaving Salina, KS. Funk, NE seems like a good direction to head, but not in a big hurry. This whole area seems pretty close, so I'd spend more time monitoring satellite for CU fields denoting the dry line...and try to stay about 20 miles east of it.

I'm moving from Russell, KS to Belleville, KS. (East on I70 to Salina and then north on 81). Keeping my head on a swivel in case there is initiation before I can get there.

There is not much convergence coming my way with my 12z start in Hays, so at 18z I'm heading north from Hayes up towards Holdrege and I-80 along the warm front.

Currently sitting in Smith Center, KS at 20Z and patiently biding my time as I await the next update. My thinking is that south central and southeastern NE is going to be the sweet spot today in/of the vicinity of the warm front, where shear is maximized and surface winds are most strongly backed.
I strongly suspect that once the 00z data comes in, I will be adjusting north into Nebraska towards the I-80 corridor on Highway 281 in order to get closer to the warm front, but I don't want to get suckered too far north, in case something fires further south ahead of the advancing TP.

EDIT: Maybe it's not...I'll stay put for now and maybe drift a bit northward to Throckmorton, TX.
I am pretty sure I remember this day now and even saw several tornadoes on it. Funny how one map on here I remembered from this day, one isobar sparked the day.

TARGET: Belleville, KS--Waiting on latest data and Vis Sat for CU fields--Tending to lean slightly south at this point
EDIT: Ok, found the 18Z data and am comfortable now between Belleville, KS and Hebron, NE...good road structure and not a bad spot to wait on more data

Am going to stay put in Hastings NE ....things could be very good if we can get a nice supercell move east and ride the boundary. Deep layer shear looks very good and nice veering wind profiles all across C. Nebraska. I like the chances here or very close to here.

Glad I chose to hedge my bets instead of biting on my gut reaction of SW OK! From Medicine Lodge, I'll be flying NNE towards Concordia, hoping to arrive by 22z. Moisture return from 12z to 18z was quite impressive in this area, while the 18z LCL's down south are quite off-putting (and should only get worse with further afternoon heating).

I like where I am at, so I think I am going to hold tight here in Belleville, KS.
Getting in late, so looking at the 18Z...
Beatrice to Hebron to York looks good. Any further west and that early morning cloud cover might not have burned off early enough. I'm liking the surface winds at Fremont, Columbus and Lincoln, and those are some sexy T/TD spreads.

I'll move east to Alma, NE.

I'm a little nervous about ditching my initial target attm, though the more obvious area is along the warm front as I originally figured it would be. I'm going to hang tight here at Kinsley, KS for a couple hours watching sat images, the sky, and the dryline progression before adjusting. The strength of the inversion should buy me at least a couple hours and still give me enough time to race 3+ hours north or a couple hours south before dark. Gotta love DST.

Alright, after hangin out in Wichita for lunch and to see the 18z update, i'm going to bite on the higher shear and tongue of instability wrapping up into SC NE. So, i'll head due north to Hebron, NE and wait there for initiation if it doesn't already start before I get there. Mapquest is telling me it takes 3hrs to get to Hebron so i'll be there around 21-22z just in time for the show hopefully.

I think I'll stay put here in Red Cloud,Ne and see what happen, because I think the low is gonna moving in this direction and because I have a not bad road option.
