Harry,

Do you mean that the products are arriving with 1 hour latency, or
the products that NWS is sending are old?

I checked thelma, and using "ldmadmin watch", see that the data is arriving
at thelma with no latency, and I did a "notifyme" to grayskies and
see that data is arriving there OK too - but I do see SAUS80 bulletins with
DDHHMM fields from the previous hour.

I wanted to check on what you meant- since it appears that grayskies
is getting the data as it comes off noaaport- but was wondering
if the NWS was behind in their data uplink.
