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.

Agreed with Jeff....
You can have as much southerly "flow" as possible for as long as you want prior to a system coming through (like it looks for next week's) - but the fetch is a PoS for the most part. Its not the fact that it's coming from the south that matters - it's the fact that you can follow the fetch back onshore between Louisiana and Florida that *REALLY* concerns me.

A little closer look...

I know where Mr. Snyder is coming from, but by the 9th day I don't see the trajectories real close to the east coast with the exception of FL. Looks to me that the southerly winds could be coming from the southern part of the Gulf. We shall see...

For an example of favorable vs. unfavorable fetches, take a look at this graphic someone with no MS Paint talent whatsoever (me) put together:

The RED area signifies where I do NOT want my southerly flow coming from.
The YELLOW area indicates where I DO want to see my southerly flow coming from - where the optimum flow would come from for peak moisture return.
Obviously I did not shade the rest of the GoM because one is assuming that any air travelling into the Southern Plains would automatically be travelling over this region - no matter where it's fetch is from. What's IMPORTANT is the source region for your air.......to a reasonable degree.
Enjoy,

Thought I'd bring this back to discuss the overall pattern this upcoming week and beyond. Looks like we will see severe weather every day across the S. Plains this week, and I think at least one of those will be a big day, if not more than one. Especially if there are remnant boundaries to play with on some days, which I think will come into play sooner or later this week to lead to some pretty nasty weather. But I'm also looking ahead to the last of this month, early next. Looks like the Subtropical Jet is zooming overhead by the 28th or 29th and there are some 500mb waves moving through every so often. Looks like the Southern Plains is in for an active season after all
