The NOAA National Weather Service MicroART upper air system at Del Rio,
Texas (WMO# 72365), will be decommissioned on or about May 30, 2008, and
installation of the new Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS) will begin.
No upper air observations will be provided from this office while RRS is
being installed.
Beginning June 9, 2008, or shortly thereafter, upper air observations
will be issued using the RRS and GPS Mark IIA Sippican radiosondes.
