• 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.

Feburary Chase Oppurtunities

As the air starts to slowly heat up and spring gets closer the month of Feburary can bring some good events. The main area of action tends to be in the Southeast especially in recently hard hit Florida. But on occasion the setups can sneak back into TX,LA,AR, and even parts of OK.

I've noticed by the 2/9-2/10 timeframe we could see a severe weather event in C/E Texas. Dewpoints 60-65F are to be in place all the way to the Red River including DFW. CAPE of 2000 j/kg are present as well mainly south of Waco, but 1500 j/kg are found up to the Red River west to possibly just east of Abilene. Temps should warm as well and climb into the 60s. A shortwave should be ejecting into the S Plains too.

I think if it can stay looking good because it is a whole week away we could see a few tornadoes somewhere in Texas. Worth keeping an eye on.
 
February chase opportunities will depend on what kind of weather pattern we can get ourselves into. If this coming arctic outbreak can give way fairly quickly and we get back to "normal" temps in the NE portion of the country from Maine to Ohio and PA, we'll have better chase chances. Thats just my opinion. February isnt a month I look at for chase chances. I'm sure we'll have a few more severe weather events in the SE, and possibly TX, but I'm looking more at March, onward.
