• 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.

Dryline appears to be back in the Panhandles today, but just a little bit farther east than yesterday. Dew points right now in Booker, TX are holding in the mid 50s. Heat is building at the surface and temperatures have already climbed into the 90s. Couple of things that concern me with convection is the amount of dry air in the upper air and that the dryline is not as sharp. Storms should still fire on the dryline. I feel that any storm that does fire will be severe, mainly a wind threat. Cant rule out a couple of good microbursts, these are actually pretty cool to watch. Tornado threat appears to be very low and I'm not going to count on it. I'm going to sit tight here is Booker today and hope that I can get a nice LP here in the North-eastern Panhandles. Good luck to all that chases.
 
Aree with you Brandon,
There is still reasonable CAPE and LI for the region and with the troughline sitting nth - sth right across the Panhandle, it looks to have a good chance of repeating yesterday's good collection of LP cells

We have moved a little further south today, to the Shamrock TX area, in the hope of getting the larger tail end charlie cells that we saw develop yesterday down this way.

cheers
Dave and Cindy Nelson
