CyclonePlotter no longer connects points to delineate storm tracks

[bikegeek]

Replace italics below with details for this issue.

Describe the Problem

Converting from Matplotlib Basemap to Cartopy has resulted in the loss of the line plot where individual storms are no longer connected to indicate storm tracks.

Expected Behavior

Provide a clear and concise description of what you expected to happen here.

Environment

Describe your runtime environment:
1. Machine: (e.g. HPC name, Linux Workstation, Mac Laptop)
2. OS: (e.g. RedHat Linux, MacOS)
3. Software version number(s)

To Reproduce

Describe the steps to reproduce the behavior:
*1. Clone the METplus code from the develop branch *
2. Follow the use case for CyclonePlotterWrapper: https://dtcenter.github.io/METplus/latest/generated/met_tool_wrapper/CyclonePlotter/CyclonePlotter.html#sphx-glr-generated-met-tool-wrapper-cycloneplotter-cycloneplotter-py
3. Use tc-pairs data on kiowa: /d1/projects/METplus/METplus_Data/development/feature_803_cycloneplotter_line
4. Generate plot and observe that only markers are getting plotted, the connecting lines between markers that are part of a storm track are missing. See below.
