I just called the NWS...a fiber optic cable problem caused an electrical short circuit at Silver Spring. They have no idea when it will be back up. All NWS office are affected that have AWIPS. NWS Chicago is being forced to use GARP at the moment for model data. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: address@hidden (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
