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.

Yep...been sitting in Cisco at the Alsups for some time now. Waiting, watching, monitoring and eating corn nuts. 
I doubt SPC will pull the trigger on a watch until convection actually breaks out. Right now it is taking their sweet time. Hopefully this lull will end and we'll have a storm soon.

I'm on 222 headed to Throckmorton. SPC mesoanalysis page shows LFC continuing to go down around Abeline. I expect a storm to fire somewhere just north and east of there in the next 1-2 hours. With this area being under the exit region of a strong upper jet by 00Z I feel pretty good about storm initiation. The atmosphere down here looks and feels primed for tornadic supercells.

I am in stephenville still heading north debating whether to head west on I20 or wait north of I20 on 281.

have noted that spc has dropped the mod risk due to the strong cap.

Moderate risk was dropped but MD is out for that area. Initiation expected in 1-2 hrs. If a storm can fire in that environment and stay on the warm side of the front, look out.

Making our way to Mineral Wells... At last, the sun is visible and we can actually see a bit of convective cloud now just south of Jacksboro. It's only a matter of time. I just hope we get enough daylight, both for development and for viewing!

A more organized cu field has formed around Albany and towers look to finally be getting through the cap. Looks like a loaded gun that's about to fire!

Brandon Goforth
Heh! Or maybe not...that cell looks to be weakening just as fast as it developed!!

Can someone explain the ground clutter 12mi west of KDYX? It has been there all afternoon. Are there hills of something out there?
Brandon Goforth
Looks like a new cell trying to go about a county to the west now...we'll see how it compares to the first one...
