• 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.

Tropical Low over the Northern GOM definitely has a good circulation but little convection noted north of the center. So, not the best organized TD yet but it should continue to organize.

Tropical Storm Warnings being issued beginning at 5pm Sunday for Lousiana.
 
the GFS and NAM do not have favorable upper level winds for the next day or 2. I dont see this one ammounting to much. The GFDL takes it up to high end TS/low cat 1 but I just dont see that happening. I like the HWRF a bit more based on upper level winds; the 12z run shows no signficant developement.
 
Looks like the title of this thread needs to be updated. As of 5pm CDT the NHC has upgraded TD-5 to Tropical Storm Edouard. Looks like I may be taking a trip to visit family in Houston soon. :P
 
The whole system looks very ragged on IR satellite right now. I wouldn't expect anything major out of this storm either over the next several days.
