• 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.

Interesting low pressure development in the Gulf

Instead of starting another thread I was wondering if anybody noticed the low level circulation off the New Jersey coast that is showing up visible satellite loops?

Does anybody have any opinions on this? I was thinking it may be some sort of eddy, but there are some occasional flare ups of convection.
 
Dunno about New Jersey :wink: but there sure looks like a development in the Yucatan Channel this morning, with vigorous persistent convection and the looks of anticyclonic upper outflow. Heeeere comes Vince, I think, very soon....
 
As for as the low of the Mid-Atlantic coast, it looks rather impressive on the visible (kinda like an EPAC TC when it move over cold water) but completely lacks anything in the way of deep convection (or any convection for that matter).




Other than that, I am growing increasingly concerned about possible future development of the system near the Yucatan. Though strong shear over the region should keep this area in check, at least for the next day or two, SSTs are favorable and the Gulf has been a storm machine so far this year (11 named systems caught at least a piece of it!). It's already got persistant deep convection, if it can develop a LLC (the SHIPS seems to think it has potential - lol) then we're off and running with #12. Just something to keep an eye on.
