[nws-changes] 20100129: [NCEP.List.ModelEvalInfo] upcoming GFS upgrade]



-------- Original Message --------

Hi All,

EMC is planning to upgrade the GFS during Q3FY2010, aiming for mid to late May. John Ward has asked me to let you know that there's a resolution change coming and that the sigma and flux files will be increasing in size. He'd like you all to begin checking to see if you can handle the larger grids.

24-hr forecasts from the T574 may be found at:

Please contact John if you have questions.

Thanks,
Chris
