Changes:
1.) Added new SST Overlay - Contoured SST. This one has less temperature resolution than the smooth one so that you can see the variation a little better. By default it's off and the Smooth one is on. Smooth one still looks nicer in my opinion.
2.) Fixed a logic error in the Storm model inclusion to fix the problem where old storms were still showing up. For instance, Invest(AL922005) was upgraded to Tropical depression Eight, but they were in fact the same storm and should not have shown up together. Logic still isn't perfect, if a storm hasn't been reported on in 12hrs, it is expired.

Thanks Rich, glad you enjoy it. 
More Minor Changes:
1.) SST Colors are now centered on 5 degree increments as follows with smooth single channel transitions between them....
0C = Black (0,0,0)
5C = DkBlue (0,0,255)
10C = LtBlue (0,255,255)
15C = Green (0,255,0)
20C = Yellow (255,255,0)
25C = Red (255,0,0)
30C = Magenta (255,0,255)
35C = White (255,255,255)
And of course land is Transparent.
2.) The legend, the Smooth SST map, and the Contour SST map have all been updated to reflect these changes.
Paul
[EDIT] - White is (255,255,255) not (255,255,0) DUH! ... Thanks McShea

Again, great job. I really appreciate this information. I live in S. Fl and had two direct hits from Francis and Jeanne last season. THis is the best visual tracking system out there.
Below link is a daily video tropical update provided by AccuWeather. Just click in the Accu Weather Tropical Outlook box to view video.

Thanks again

First, let me say that the overlays are fantastic. Great work & thank you for them. Have you given any thought to adding watches and warnings or the infamous NHC cone of uncertainty aka their offical forecast track with margin of error? I didn't see this in the thread or any place else. If I missed it, I apologize. Thanks!!!

I haven't found any reliable sources for the information that you mention. The data that I use right now has to meet a couple of requirements.....these may change in the future, but as of now this is what I need.
1.) Data/Images/Etc that are reliably available. That is, they are always located at the same URL or FTP directory.
2.) They must have some logic in regards to temporal description. Ie., the files must have some sort of naming comvention that indicates their age (2005080400Z.dat), or a file with a set name must be updated in place....ie, daily.dat must be replaced with fresh data regularly.
3.) If dealing with graphics, they must be geolocatable (in addition to the above). The view cannot change from one point in time to the next (NOAA Floater satellite views), unless they are geoencoded images. I've got to be able to tell GoogleEarth where to put these images, and if their view changes, then they won't be aligned properly in GE.
4.) Images must also be projected in a way that it is possible to align them in GE.
By all means, if anyone finds any other relevant data that fits the above, I'll be glad to add it. I search for new stuff regularly, but I'm only 1 person with limited time, so I may miss some good stuff.
Thanks for the kind words hwwtdw.

For some reason, the SST layer always defaults to being on when I have the NHC model layer selected. I'm not sure why.

Yes Bama,
As a matter of fact I'm a software engineer. Send me a private message with what you had in mind. I don't have a great deal of extra coding time outside of work, but it depends what you are looking for.

I'll look into that CapeVerde. It very well may be a mistake on my part. God knows I create my fair share of bugs. Which SST Layer in particular? The whole SST Folder? The Smooth? The Contoured? Both Smooth and Contoured bu not root folder?
Paul
[EDIT] BTW Cape....are you using the old network link, or have you re-downloaded the new one from the first post in the thread?
