• 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.

Thunderstorms forecast as far north as Des Moines Thursday!

Hi everyone,

I just noticed my local NWS (Des Moines) has added "scattered thunderstorms" to the Thursday night and Friday forecast.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this next strong early spring system? I have heard wind profiles are looking good for some decent shear in the midwest, but also that there is little chance that enough moisture will be present for storms, or warm enough temps for that matter...what do you think? Also, will there be better severe wx chances farther south?
 
Way too early to get too excited, but definitely the first interesting ripple in the 2004 season. I like the warming trend that's progged for TX/OK. This time of year it'll be a question of upper dynamics, plus the constant "will the gulf be open for business" worry.

Definitely something to keep an eye on as the next week progresses.
 
Ok, not cool to mess with National Weather Service products...you were getting my hopes up!! :D :D :D
 
Ok, well back to business... (yes I think everyone is very excited for the upcoming chase season) BUT if you have some serious views on this weeks storm system, and the dynamics of it, please feel free to share them. Thanks!
 
Thunderstorms, Iowa, Thursday/Friday???

I myself am from Waterloo Iowa and I've heard talk about thunder but nothing about anything severe/strong; I'm more concerned about the freezing rain threat that could accompany this system
