• 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 2025

That's OK. Rules are not as strict here as in Target Area. I'm not a moderator - but hey, it's still here!

OK this week is pretty well handled by SPC, and we'll probably will get some Target Area threads. Warren is correct that a slow period is likely after this trough (previous page). A lull is not unusual following an active trough.

Season will roll on though. No Texas based ridge is forecast. Above normal 500 mb heights North with normal South allows subtropical jet activity and/or upslope and Caprock days. 11-15 day forecast is wet in Texas, which should help with the drought. Those days may or may not be severe days, but any rain is welcome - if only to set the table for later in May.

I really want to write about later in May but I have nothing. MJO will need to totally reset and restart. Weekly models just stall out where they are about Day 20 and keep it going through Day 35. Broad AN heights are forecast but no concentrated death ridge. Even slightly below normal late May activity is workable. Perhaps we'll have more clarity in several more days.
 
My car just broke down.

I was on south 289 trying to use my dashcam to watch the thunder and lightning before it settled down, beforehand I turned onto Moore PKWY, that’s when i started hearing some strange vibrations in my car. Then, the dreaded “check engine” light turned on, i turned south and i stopped on Preston Estates Dr.
This isn’t good for me, because now im put out of the season.IMG_3588.jpegthe picture seen above is my oath from what i remember.
