• 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.

The 12z model's are starting to come into better agreement on systems next week. They are now advertising a trough over the plains. The GFS and GEM both show this. I'm sure the EURO will too. It looks like from Tuesday through probably next weekend will be decent. Although there's no big sfc systems yet, that could change. Could be some decent stuff. Hopefully, high pressure drifting toward the Gulf will not choke off td's. Right now, western Texas could be the spot with upslope flow and perhaps a stalled boundry....
 
Thanks for that update.... I was considering (still) a run to anything DECENT...since Im getting tired of looking and waiting, all while May has slipped by me, perhaps it is time to finally commit to something (even if its not great it only needs to be good).
Its a BIG trip from CA and with flights, rental car, and hotel rooms - Im lookin at a few buckaroonies.

BIG QUESTION where would all of you fly into mid week?
Kansas City , OKC, Denver or Dallas?
anyone?

If I were you, I'd start out in Oklahoma City or Dallas. It looks to me that the first action of the week will begin near Lubbock on Tuesday, and then perhaps shift to southern Oklahoma/northern Texas by Wednesday.

That's the way it looks now...it will change, but that seems to be the best bet now, considering the active southern stream.

After that, a very nice system is progged for the late week in the central and northern plains. So, it looks like a fair amount of driving will be in order for those wishing to catch all events. (If you're coming in on Wednesday or Thursday, you may want to try KC).

I would fly into OKC. It gives you the easiest access (in my opinion) north, south, east, or west. Although it does look like W.TX will be the area to watch early in the week, but as we all know that can very easily change.
