• 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.

Heat wave!

Just finished a round of KC video this afternoon in triple digits ... went to a local waterpark and was dying to get in the water myself, but probably wouldn't have worked too well for the camera. This was the closest I have been to passing out in a long time. If I hadn't gotten inside with air conditioning this afternoon I probably would have wound up in a doctor's office with a ton of other heat stroke victims.

Wish this was me:

103° officially in Moline today. 104.0° here at my house. Chicago's midway airport hit 104°. For many of us this is the first 100° temp since 1995.

I haven't seen a thunderstorm in about three months. I can't remember what a cumulonimbus cloud looks like.

We don't have grass here anymore, just dry white needles mixed with wilting weeds.......
 
It doesn't look like this extreme heat will be going away anytime soon. :x I just checked up on the latest NCEP discussions and they're forecasting another ridge to build in the west by late week and it will likely be moving back over the central U.S. :( For everyone in the path of the northern/central plains cold front...enjoy it while you can...the temperature gauge will be on it's way back up eventually.

Speak for yourself. I'm in the land of no clouds! But I am glad I'm not in the Midwest right now, dry heat is a lot more tolerable. :wink:
