yes daft question Karen I know.

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.

Nah, not really - and even if it was I'd understand. Coming from the UK, I've asked my fair share of stupid questions, too! :lol:
(OK OK I didn't mean that to sound the way it did. I meant coming from the UK and not KNOWING anything about storms over here....)
Ask away......."let thought be contact"......
Sorry.....breaking into "YES", there......

The thing I HATE about this late-winter / early-spring time is that we often get these continental air intrusions DEEP into the GoM (actually, completely through the GoM sometimes). Looking at tonights GFS, it seems that while the southern-stream jet will remain active (with numerous closed 500mb lows coming through atleast TX in the next 10 days), each system is followed by a high that flushes deep into the Gulf. This means that even 2 or possibly 3 days of return flow does very little to get even modest low-level moisture into the southern plains. Ugh...

In response to Jeff Snyder's post: Yes, the depth of surface moisture is always a problem in the early spring. Even with south winds off the Gulf for two or three days, we struggle to get into the 50's dewpoints here in TX. Looking ahead, the progs have a closed low stuck off the California coast with wave after wave romping over the state next week. Unfortunately, surface moisture conditions remain dismal. TM

Interesting that SPC finally issued a slight risk for northern OK and southern KS. Did the severe TSTM warning for Alfalfa Co. verify? This situation shows that with powerful dynamics and limited moisture, mother nature can squeek out a severe storm or two. TM
