• 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 Storm Emily

Well the GFDL 18Z shifted back west... the wigwag continues. I think the longer she stays weak the further west she could go. Still waiting to see post-Hispaniola conditions.
 
The latest IR satellite loop clearly shows Emily moving (crawling) west, although still disorganized. The BAMS, BAMM and CLP5 models (12z - 8-03-11) are now tracking Emily to the west of Hispaniola and over / west of Cuba. It will be an interesting 24-48 hours in regards to any future US impact.

On the visible you can clearly see the COC leaving the bulk of the convection behind. It'll be interesting to see whether she can wrap things back together before too long.
 
Hahahaha... 348 hours out:

Good times GFS... good times.
 
Looking at the latest data, including shear factors, land interactions and satellite images, I think Emily is pretty much history unless something really unexpected happens. We are just getting into the season, no worries.

Haha... well it could make a come back, but I'm not holding my breath.

Franklin and Gert next week maybe... Cape Verde season seems ready to kick off.
 
Still....pretty irrelevant. Booo. OK...I know, I know...it's only August 6.
