• 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.

Outflow boundry / Front

Caught this on radar about 11:50 last night in Nebraska. One of the longest outflow boundries/ fronts I've seen on radar..

(Of course I forgot to save the velocity scan of it) :?
 
yeah that storm rolled through here this afternoon. had to grab the garbage cans, as they started flying away. stood outside looking for funnels, but saw none. my husband saw one on his way home, but it didn't touch down, and looked pretty unorganized. it was called in though, so there were tornado warnings based on it.

had numerous tornado warnings and very strong wind. had quite a bit of rain as well, which was greatly needed.

the storms also prompted several of those high wind warnings on the back side of the storms while still in iowa. pretty interesting day came out of it, and i wasn't really looking for anything here.
 
I have satellite up and running and I believe you can actually take this as far back as Mont and Wyoming?

Either way - very long track!

That is right, these storms came off of the initial storms in WY/MT, rolled across as individual supercells in western SD and then started linear in central SD. I could see the tops of these Tuedsay night when they were nearly 250 miles away! They rolled through me, I was just on the north side of it around 3 am. The storms actually gave way and this line moved southeastward, this occured nearly right over me. North storms had nice outflow that just fed this south line tremendously. I was only able to get 45-50 mph winds from this outflow but I'm sure it just strengthed the south end.

(on a side note I had to drive through this system again on my way to Ames... :D Nothing like getting the same storm twice)
