I sent the following message to internal and external users this afternoon.

NATIONAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION MESSAGE 93-34
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HEADQUARTERS
400 PM EDT THU AUG 12 1993
TO: ALL USERS OF THE AVIATION (AVN) MODEL AND THE MEDIUM
RANGE FORECAST (MRF) SYSTEM
FROM: MARY M. GLACKIN
CHIEF, SERVICES DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
SUBJECT: DELAYS IN THE AVIATION AND MEDIUM RANGE FORECAST
(MRF) MODELS
(THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED BY EUGENIA KALNAY, CHIEF
OF THE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OF NMC.)
NMC has experienced some time delays in the forecast products
after the implementation of the new global model on August 11 at
1200 UTC. Part of these delays were due to the implementation
and some were unrelated to it.
Several changes in the system are being tested. We expect from
them a speed up in the product delivery times which will be
monitored over the weekend. We anticipate a solution to the
problems early next week.
If you have questions, call Wayman Baker at (301)-763-8005.
