This could impact somebody next week along the gulfcoast
-
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.

Some models build this system up to a TS (Ana?) in about 60 hours time.

its looking quite disorganized at this hour..
Update: It is looking alot more impressive than it did earlier. If it does intensify into a tropical storm, it will indeed be named Ana.

NHC just upgraded to Orange alert
"THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 TO 50 PERCENT...
OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48
HOURS."
Update:
The latest early cycle SHIP's intensity model says CAT1 Hurricane in 100 hours - too early to tell yet...

As big convective blobs go, this one sure does look nice. I would be surprised at this point if we didn't get Ana out of it sometime before it hits the Gulf coast.

Some disturbing output from the 00z HWRF. CAT2 Hurricane off Western florida in 96 hours. However GFDL refuses to devlope this system.

LOL Chris,
93L held some promise for a while – there was even a RECON flight scheduled for Sunday (which was cancelled)
93L actually had circulation at 700mb for a while, but was unable to achieve any surface circulation. I followed 93L across the Yucatan and never saw a Westerly surface ob at all!
Overall 93L remained just an open wave.
I guess that we will have to wait longer for Ana to form…

Actually they did fly into the GOM and do some test runs and I think that we already had Ana it made landfall on Dauphin Island Alabama in May. I expect for it to get upgraded after the season is over.
