• 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.

Dew Points

What is everyone using for measuring dew points while on the road? I've just got a simple anemometer mounted on the outside of the car. I really don't want an entire weather station out there just to get a dew point. Is it spring yet?
 
I purchased a Kestrel 4500 pocket weather meter back in September. It's Kestrel's high-end model--cost me around $300 and has a ton of cool functions on it, many of which I'll probably never use. I just need to have them, that's all. :p You can pick from a number of other models, from less pricey to much less pricey, all of which will do you fine for measuring dewpoints and give you other Wx info besides.
 
Sorry to bump this back up, but you gotta love a good ol' sling psychrometer. You can easily calculate RH, but obviously not dewpoint directly.

I used to have access to one and it was cool to get out every now and then and take a measurement.
 
I used a Davis Weather Station. I used to have a kestrel (i lost it :( ). But since i have had my weather station, the Td has not been off by more than one degree from the Oklahoma Mesonet measurement. Im very pleased with it.
 
Don't get the Brunton ADC-Pro, at least if you live at altitude. Mine doesn't have the range to compensate for the 6,900 ft. elevation here. Plus, it reads consistently lower on temp and higher on rh than my Davis Vantage Pro2, which I'm apt to trust more.
