• 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.

OK... I need some help understanding the following: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2008/KWNSPTSDY1_200804262000.txt

For example, looking at the SLGT Categorical area, it gives the following:

Code:
SLGT   29680224 30890281 32990280 34040203 34470120 34380036
       33899929 32839713 30899635 29349702 28469886 28480045
How would one read those points? Are they lat and long pairs? Or is there a better explanation? Thanks.
 
Lat/Long depiction of the maps you see on their webpage. Add a "1" to the beginning ot the long if it's less than 100.

29680224 - 29.68 x -102.24

They are lat lon pairs. So the first point translates to 29.68N 102.24W...the 30899635 translates to 30.89N 96.35W
