• 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.

SPC First Moderate & High Risk Climatology

You know what would be outstandingly phenomenal, but likely way too much work...is have a GIS type system were you can have lots of 'layers' that include everything from visual sat., radar, metars, surface analysis, reports, and many more products overlaid with the various risk maps

Unless I'm missing what you're asking, that is what software like GEMPAK and GREarth does.
 
Great work Patrick.
It would be interesting to see a map of all the slight, moderate and high risks combined.

Definitely! The struggle for me will be finding time on my computer to crunch the numbers. I'm doing this in between processing jobs for my dissertation research. I can justify a 5 minute or 10 minute delay as "taking a break". Processing the SLGT risks alone takes closer to an hour! However, I'll see if I can't find the hour necessary in the next day or two.

I was thinking he wanted more of a historical aspect. I don't know how to do archived playback in GREarth. I also don't know how to get archived SPC products into GEMPAK (albeit, I've never tried.)
 
Thought this would be a SDS pick the day of the first high risk for 2011 thing. Too bad it's not, I woulda picked May 16th. ;)
 
First mod risk at the end of february for Central Texas ;) Predicting no high risks in 2011.
