• 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.

Current chatter of local TV mets is that the remnants of Ivan that are currently in Florida again may have circulation when it hits the eastern Gulf. Water temp at 88 degrees and the HI steering it right in the direction of Houston/Galveston. Tropical Storm Matthew may just be on the horizon this week. Nothing concrete and lots of maybes still out there, but a possibility being talked about round these parts.
Anthony Yanez (KPRC Houston) showed the entire possibilities twice today so far. I have not found anything on this on any sites I habit.
Any thoughts on this scenario?
 
I know Karl is going to be soon racing north, but it's going to be one impressive satellite loop if we get Matthew, Karl, Lisa and Jeanne spinning out there. I wonder if there will be a possiblity of a quad-Fujiwara effect? Like a tropical cyclone square dance.....
 
You should say the remnant circulation of Ivan because it isn't. What happened was Ivan broke into two pieces one part of him went Northeast and that was his surface dynamics along with his surface circulation. Another went South and is now in the Eastern Gulf Of Mexico. It is mainly his mid-level circulation that is left over the Gulf. A new surface circulation did form and so the name would be Matthew.

I can vouch for that. The surface low from Ivan passed right over my house in Connecticut last weekend.
 
I appreciate the clarification... I really dont know why I wrote that, as I knew the surface low did in fact pass very near my hometown of Westport, CT

sigh.... :oops:

Somehow Ivan's return makes me think of an old prizefighter who has come out of retirement when he is well past his prime -- he just doesn't have much punch.
