• 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.

Good evening.

The National Hurricane Center is right now issuing advisories on subtropical storm Laura. I have been monitoring this cyclone with concern about possible hit at Northern Europe by its remnants. For example, GFS model forecasts it to hit as a strong extratropical cyclone early next week.

As of 11 AM EDT, 6 PM Estonian time, Laura is still a subtropical storm.

Wel'll see what happens and if its remnants are going to visit my neighborhood, I will keep you posted of the weather events.
 
Laura should be a very strong Extratropical storm hitting the UK at the end of the forecast period. Looks like the GFS has it interacting with another system once it moves over the UK and into the North Sea.
 
Conflicting reports about the location of Laura's remnants coming out today. FU-Berlin's map for 00Z today places it over the North Sea while KNMI's Satrep places it approaching Iceland out from the Atlantic instead. Can any mets in this board figure out which is exactly what?

After taking a look at older satellite images from past few days, I am however increasingly confident that ex-Laura's circulation has decayed and the moisture from it has moved into a cyclone that is near Ireland right now.
