• 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.

Looks like extreme NW AR will be underwater for Easter.

Rather impressive QPF totals being put out via HPC regarding the next five days. It's good to see this as it'll help the drought west of I-35. Very large and moist air-masses are definitely in place, with large precipitable water values between 1 to 1.65 inches (from the 12 UTC soundings) south of the central TX warm front. Many 12 UTC isentropic maps indicate there's already very deep isentropic ascent taking place along and north of the front. Shouldn't be long now till central Oklahoma finally gets some rain...

Additionally, satellite derived precipitable water values show a nice, juicy Gulf airmass waiting to be utilized here:

Recent Oklahoma Mesonet graphic that truly represents the severity of the drought:

As someone who has some enthusiasm and interest in hydrology, this is a very interesting situation unfolding across the Mississsippi river basin. There is currently a wave of flood water coming down from near Davenport, combine that with 5-10 inches of rain down stream, and you have yourself a major hydrological event unfolding.
