No go for me. With very marginal shear, weak wind fields, high background pressures, and an upper ridge sitting right over the target area, along with the marginal moisture situation, I don't expect much to write home about.

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.

I'd be heading for Burlington, CO this afternoon except for one reason: the community band I play in is having a concert at 7 p.m. tonight, so I can't chase today. Hopefully we'll get a nice storm or two back towards my area (Fort Morgan/Sterling) but it looks like the most interesting storms will be in far eastern CO/western KS today, and I couldn't make it back in time if I drove to Burlington or points further east. Besides, with gas being the way it is, I can't afford to chase a marginal situation like this. I'll just sit this one out, hope for at least a nicely structured non-severe storm within 50 miles of my house, and wait until an event with more significant potential comes along to go out chasing farther east. If I have to wait a couple of weeks for it, so be it.
Just my $0.02 worth.

I don't like the upper ridge over Central Kansa and Oklahoma. I'll sit this one out and await tomorrow.

Ryan McGinnis and I are sitting looking at data in Hays, KS on a very marginal day (but hey, it's Sunday!).
Storms firing around Dodge City are moving NE and expected to hit some higher CAPE air at about the same time the cap is expected to erode according to the ETA for 0Z Monday. I'm guessing this will occur somewhere around NE of Great Bend (perhaps the Lyons, KS area)*. This is the same area that multiple earlier experimental parameters identified, which is hopefully more than coincidence.
*(but then I'm a real rookie at this)
Wishcast out.

I think we're going to go east here a bit towards Salina. There are some CU starting to materialize on the last few sat shots, and that's more than I can say for where we are sitting. The Tds are a bit better east, too.
