...per NHC conference call. No details quite yet.

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.

Is this a new record for the earliest formed storm in the G.O.M.?

Kinda interesting/weird/ironic that we had a storm given a name on the first official day of hurricane season. If they didn't name subtropical storms, this this would have been the first named storm on the first official day of the season.

Good day all,
Currently up in Ohio, but fate had it so that my 3-week or so trip to FL to check house and family happened to be on the day Barry decided to affect FL - Not that I am complaining - I am a hurricane chaser after all ;-)
On final approach into Fort Lauderdale airport at about 5:15 PM EDT - Here we are at about 2,000 feet (Boeing 717). To the lower right are city blocks, barely visible. Turbulence was heavy and you can even see streaks of water beading across the window.
Winds at Deerfield beach were ESE at 30 MPH sustained. Since Barry has most of its convection sheared off to the right side of the storm, that's where all the weather is, far to the east of the center.
Barry's winds also created rough surf in Florida as well. Waves here are about 6-8 feet.

Barry brought Asheville some much-needed rain. While we're still very much in a drought, I'm really thankful for what we got.
