• 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.

We've completed an upgrade to the SPC mesoanalysis pages:

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/mesoanalysis/new/

The primary feature changes are:

1. Fixed sectors that now cover the entire conus
2. Option for underlays (radar, terrain, etc.)
3. Enhanced looping and a one week running archive

The new page will be in "test" mode until 15 March, when we plan to remove the old links.

If you have any comments or suggestions, you can send them to me, or go through the spc web site
( http://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/feedback.html )

This is awesome, I especially enjoy the large fixed sectors, should eliminate the old issue of trying to view something upstream that's not in a sector for that day...Not to mention now being able to track boundaries from the previous day, among many other things thanks to the looped archive!!!
 
Considering I use this page more than any during chase day I welcome the new change! I will have to check it out during the first change of severe weather.
 
Now this is a great upgrade! I love this new addition! It couldn't have come at a better time. Good work guys!!!
 
Wow! This will take some getting used to, but I think I'm going to like it immensely. I do have one comment, which I'll send you at the link you've provided.
 
Thank you! As a novice to severe weather (and still trying to grasp all the proper verbage and terms), the links to glossary entries and further detailed educational info, are very helpful for understanding the various data.
 
Fantastic! It looks great and I especially like the overlays. I am also most impressed with the option to have a printable PDF surface map as well as the VAD/Wind Profiler. The surface map will be perfect for instant hand analysis. I'm looking forward to when those two products will be operational.

Cannot wait to work with the page in the future. SPC creates some of the best and most useful weather products on the web, even though they are often labeled "experimental." All I have to say is: keep experimenting!
