• 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

Chase early and often - even Southern slop - is my attitude. Just in case those long-range forecasts have merit.

Wednesday looks uninspiring in the South but we have NCAA play-in games. Midwest could do something isolated.
Sunday is pretty much a Deep South we'll see. I'm not worried early season, just ready to chase anything.
 
I'm not impressed with the upcoming pattern. Cold fronts, then ridging. There is no real sign of a good trough in the West/Rockies in the ensembles or weeklies. Maybe early-mid April?
 
Maybe early-mid April?
Yes frankly, that was the underlying theme of my post on Monday afternoon.
The deeper, richer moisture & associated strong baroclinicity takes the very pause you mention. Actually...
I don't mind if it holds off a bit; I like warmer, surface temps & slower, storm motions w/ later, further north & west events. 🌪️
