• 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 Site Down?

I'm unable to access the SPC site. Anyone else have this problem?

I am able to ping it successfully, but the web site won't come up on 2 separate computers running different browsers.
 
First thing I noticed this morning was that the overview graphic said NO TSMS forecast when a slight was in effect. Now, I can't access SPC or any NCEP site for that matter.
 
If anyone has the email address for the webmaster - might want to send an email.

I imagine SPC has some mechanism to alert them when the page is down. My guess is they are having some type of server problem, but email's not a bad idea just in case since severe weather today.

That's strange. I can't access SPC but I can get the Climate Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, and my local WFO sites.
 
Yeah...having problems with NCEP page too. I was trying to get a glimpse of the GFS for Friday night's system that looks interesting I might add for Alabama, Georgia, N.Florida.

P.S. - No doesn't work for me either.

Hi Karen,

Yeah I'm thinking of heading out. Right now I like the area around Victoria, or possibly from there Wharton to Houston. The mid level wave looks a bit slower so I'm thinking Houston could be at or after dark.

I love using the SPC Mesoscaleanalysis tool. Although today I don't think it's such a large area that it would be tough to figure out. Basically the intersection of the low/fronts with mid level wave.

If I am going I better start thinking about getting out the door though. Hmmm...haven't even charged anything yet.
 
Hey, Bill!!!

Hope your right Bill. I'm in Fort Bend, Southwest of Houston. Sure could use some storm action. We are way overdue.

I'm glad nothing came through during the day...my third grade class would have seen me go bonkers if it had
:lol:

I don't get off work till 4pm today...can't wait to get home and study the maps.

Later gang!
