Celia,

No data was available from Friday morning through Monday Morning.
The 384 forecast hour MRF grid was just sent today (only grid received).

Data today is delayed due to Cray computer crashes which run the
forecast models. Please refer to all NOUS42 KWNO messages for
information regarding forecast runs.

SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION  
CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC  
1245 UTC TUE AUG 31 1999  
  
311245Z...THE CRAY 3 IS STILL OUT OF SERVICE.  WILL BE USING  
OTHER RESOURCES TO HELP WITH THE 12Z CYCLE IF THE CRAY CAN NOT  
BE BROUGHT BACK SOON.  IN THIS EVENT WE EXPECT THE 12Z ETA AND  
NGM TO BE JUST A LITTLE DELAYED.  THE 12Z AVN OUTPUT SHOULD BE  
CLOSE TO ON TIME.  WITHOUT CRAY 3 THE 12Z ETA WILL BE AN 80KM  
VERSION.  NORMAL RUC2 OUTPUT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE  
UNTIL THE CRAY 3 IS BACK ON LINE.

When NCEP computers are down, the dbnet system they use to post data
to the computer with the LDM running on it cannot obtain the data files.

Also, your mail program apparently has a configuration problem
as the messages are received here with cc: address@hidden.
