• 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.

First High Risk of 2007

Seeing as we're speculating, I'm going to go WAY out on a limb here and say that there will be NO high risk days in 2007.
 
May 27, 2007 - SC Nebraska, Kansas, Northern Olahoma - Will be a bust in terms of number of tornadoes, but the few(3-5) that happen will be very chaseable and photogenic
 
The first two weeks of April may see a high risk across the Tennessee River valley into possibly the gulf states. I believe overall though, that this will be another below normal year for severe weather. HOWEVER, increased moisture on the western high plains should lead to good evapotranspiration, that should yield a couple of good days out there in May and June especially if they get a few more doses of precip. between now and then.
 
Being from North Texas, I got to go with Texas of course.......lol. Specifically, up and down the Interstate 35 corridor from northern Oklahoma to south central Texas on March 13th. It will become the new "Terrible Tuesday." :)
 
Fantasy: May 12, eastern CO/western KS. Several isolated, classic cyclic supercells drop over two dozen highly photogenic tornadoes in a six hour timeframe!:D We'll have a high risk in eastern CO when pigs fly.

Reality: Sometime in the middle of March, probably the Southern Plains or the Mid/Lower Mississipi Valley.
 
Gonna shoot for march 17, Eastern TX, LA, and western MS. Its also going to be a overnight event.
