Patrick,

If you want to plot STI, then you have to download the STI
data. Did you do that?

If not, see the NWS web page:
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/tg/radfiles.html
The STI product is number 58.

The STI product contains the drawing command necessary for gpnids
to plot the storm path and forecast track of the cells. The NCR
product only provides a text table of certain information, and is not
the product that provides the graphic commands for the fields such
as TVS, mesocyclone, hail, and storm track. These products are not
on the NOAAPORT broadcast at this time.
