• 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.

The Central Region web servers will be down for maintenance from 5 pm CDT on Wednesday April 13th, 2011 until 7 am CDT on Thursday April 14th, 2011

The National Weather Service is taking steps to improve its web services in an effort to better handle the high traffic volume that occurs during high impact weather events. To facilitate this improvement, the Central Region web servers will be down for maintenance from 5 pm CDT on Wednesday April 13th, 2011 until 7 am CDT on Thursday April 14th, 2011. During this maintenance period, any visitors to the Central Region Web pages will receive a maintenance page. The maintenance page will include links to key services including:

* Watch/Warning/Advisory Maps
* Forecasts
* Radar
* River Forecasts and Observations
* Fire Weather Forecasts
* Aviation Forecasts
* Marine Forecasts

Please note that this maintenance only impacts the Central Region Web Pages and not the following National pages:

* http://weather.gov
* http://water.weather.gov
* http://radar.weather.gov
* http://forecast.weather.gov

We apologize for any inconvenience that this maintenance may cause but the upgrades we are making will help better serve you in the future.
 
still down as of 1030 am central. only 3 1/2 hours longer than planned so far!! lol
 
Do plans with the NWS/NOAA ever happen on time? Look at the dual-pol upgrade or the RR replacement of the RUC, for example.

It's working fine on my end. I had to clear my browser's cache. It was giving some weird "infinite redirect loop" error in Chrome.
