Not moving from my overnight in Kirksville, MO...although I may head to Ottumwa, Iowa after the next set of data. I'm pretty pleased right now.

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.

Playing catchup here. I have decided to make my move down 55 towards Springfield, IL where I should arrive by 19z and may head west from there. A nice clearing on the vis sat and Iowa is still socked in clouds. My guess is that cold front will make a quick push eastward as this appears to be an early season system where said cold front will be the main focal point for storms.

Hmmm...low is centered in extreme SE Nebraska and is translating almost straight east--doesn't seem to have much of a northerly component to it right now. Clearing is moving through northwest MO, and I'll bet a fair portion of SW and S-central Iowa shows clearing in a while. But I'm not so confident that the WF will make it very far north into Iowa. Time to make a move. I'm dropping down US 65 a ways to Humeston, IA, where I'll wait for the next update.
I don't think I'm far enough south. Heading to Hamilton, IL, right across the River from Keokuk, IA. This gives me great options in all directions including back west across the river if I need to go that way.

Yuup, that low has stopped moving N for the moment. Time for me to head S out of Ames back down to MO. I can get to Bethany, MO by 18z...

Continuing east out of Kansas City to Columbia, MO on the nose of the higher Tds and the developing CU field.

Time to shift SE, leaving Grimes heading to Centerville, IA to wait for the next set of data. Should be there at approximately 18z.

Wanted to head north to St. Joe to be closer to the surface low, but noticed that flow was already veering a bit at the surface near Chillicothe. Don''t think WF will progress much further north and will straddle IA/MO state line. Want to be out ahead of point where veering sfc flow interacts with the WF. Will head NE to Bethany, MO and be there for next round of data. Thinking I will probably head east from there after looking at data. We'll see
