That’s a great thought. The problem is my wife and two of are daughters (including the one graduating) are flying with me and we didn’t get insurance on the flights. I will check on this though and repost. A helpful note to anybody chasing this and is unfamiliar with the chasing in Wisconsin. You can basically draw a line straight West from Green Bay and if a storm heads North of that line you should just say goodbye. There just aren’t many places you can see anything North of that.
I was already wondering about the possibility of SPC bumping up to 30% for the 19th... there are a few things that will surely be answered when the models get a little closer in, but the timing/location of the mid-level jet max and corresponding shrtwv, juxtaposed to some of the Sub LLJ features and capping on the Skew-T I think will work themselves out, and of course how the SFC environment looks each day from left over boundary's and where the best backed wind fields will be at the time. but the Synoptic setup looks pretty good for this period.
This is my main concern for the weekend. Pent-up demand explodes with population of Rhode Island chasing in the plains sun-tues. my plan was to target the alt. south target mid ill./in. for thurs. drop down to my target area of south tip of ill. for Friday. Get to OkC for Sunday. Kansas for Monday. Chash east Tuesday on my way home. gotta decide if the plains chase will be worth the traffic/chaos i expect??
Hopefully there is enough coverage to provide a secondary option at least. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry will be out there chasing the most prime target spot, so having that in the back pocket would make for a more enjoyable chase experience than fighting NYC traffic on a dirt road in western Kansas
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.
