Hi Mike,

Yes indeed, I meant Wednesday, May 26, not Wednesday, May 19.
I'll send out a correction.

re:

Yes, definitely.  There may be some overlap, but not much as I have
been told.

re:

There are very few MRMS products being distributed in NOAAPort.  There
are approx. 140 in the set of products we will be adding to FNEXRAD.

Aside: The products that we will be distributing are a subset of what we get
in an LDM feed from NCEP/NCO.

Cheers,

Tom
