• 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.

State of the Chase Season 2021

Based on the GFS/Euro for the next week or so, I'd say there will be several chances again in the Midwest to perhaps even the high plains for chaseable severe weather continuing the pattern of an active August 2021 season. Hard to say what days will do what or if anything at all will happen. This time of year the margin between a big time event and a rainy day with a training MCS is razor thin, so its nothing I'd take to my grave. Although I see signs toward the beginning of September that we will get behind a cold front into a cooler airmass. So probably going to take any chances I can get over the next 7-14 days for chasing.
 
Next Tuesday based off the GFS/Euro would be bliss if we can get dry line storms to fire and sort out all the details. Of course that is a long ways out. But cool season outbreaks of recent years have seemed to reward quite well, although its been a minute since we had one in traditional "tornado alley" (KS/OK/TX/NE region). Would be ironic if one of the best setups of the year happened in mid October lol...
 
Just wanted to toss out a quick message to the group wondering what people are seeing in the upcoming year signals for whether it looks more likely that La Nina will persist, or will it be a Hybrid year? I just took a look at the CPC guidance and have seen their estimates, but I know there are more things that some of you experts out there look at. Thanks!!

The current ENSO forecast is for a triple dip this winter with a decay through early spring to neutral or weak EL Nino. Probably still a little far out to be certain on the decay part but leaning neutral. Early decays usually arent good and neutral conditions are also a mixed bag.
