• 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.

New Chase Case #1

Heading SW to Syracuse, NE. To the west, Cu towers on satellite also showing on radar, with a hint of a N-S boundary extending to their south; to the east, a river crossing at Nebraska City. Looking forward to surface obs.
 
I think I'm in a good spot right now, with the outflow boundary just to my north and a triple point setting up to the SW which should propagate in my direction along with the mid-level disturbance evident on the morning analysis. If anything, I may drop just a bit south to Hastings, but the coffee at this diner is pretty good.

Of course, surface obs would help my decision...
 
This time I will play the dry line, and I start moving toward Great Bend,Ks waiting for a surface analysis map and SPC Mesoanalysis (I probably would move to Pratt after have seen the models update)

I am standing pat with Pratt, Kansas. I have data, I have US 54 and 281 for E-W and N-S options and I can see for miles. I start seeing towers go off....I am gone!
 
I've got to go with a setup and wait in Hastings, NE. Great spot to head to the action but I'd expect things to pop on the Kansas border and strengthen into Nebraska.
 
Sitting in Hays, KS to eat some lunch and wait a little bit yet, with lots of road options. Might head north later. Would prefer to stick near the triple point low.
 
Id be chilling at the monkey motel in Russell, KS
'
I could easily drop south should things get going down there, and if the northern end lights up, it wouldn't be impossible to play catch up

I'm now high tailing it to the OK-KS border on I-35 to wait for initiation down the dryline. While most are north of my location, I will have a supercell or two to play with all by myself.
 
Holding steady and patient in Kingman KS and will be awaiting further data...hopefully get some initiation before sunset within 30 miles of my camp out spot.
