• 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.

This one bears watching all through the Gulf Coast. Dependent on intensification and the stregnth of the progressing trough this could meander WNW in to the Bay of Campech or take a hard right and affect the eastern GOM.

Got my attention:

SUMMARY OF 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...14.0N 76.9W
ABOUT 435 MI...700 KM E OF PUERTO CABEZAS NICARAGUA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/HR
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 16 MPH...26 KM/HR
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1006 MB...29.71 INCHES
 
Good day all,

The probability of that hard right turn over water is slim for Matthew. It probably will hit Nicaragua / Honduras and beat-out over land.

If you are a hurricane chaser this year in the USA (and planning to chase IN the USA), you'll be a very disappointed person. This year has been a "fish" and / or abroad year.
 
Mattew has really organized since last night and 998mb readings have been found. While the track for the next 24 - 36 hours is very consistent the impact of the monsoonal low over Central America vs. the trough moving SE through the CONUS is up for grabs.

On top of that are several models consistently dissapating Matthew over central america only to have Nicole from by Tues/Wed next week near Jamaica.

IMO there are so many wild card variables in the models right now, which is why we have such disparate tracks and projections. I'm thinking a slow decelration over the Yucutan but an eventual emergence into the GOM NE of Cancun and then a drift north.
