First, the data alignment update:

Targeting June 3 2025. Create a designated channel for all radar data, including MRMS, which will have 2nd highest priority on SBN below NMC  (p-surge will move up to NMC channel from NMC2). Realign bandwidth of several channels to accommodate this change.  SCN is completed, waiting for approval from those that modify dataflow and SBN.  SCN not released yet.

Secondly, changes to US METAR/SPECI:

Reference changes noticed in January to the METAR; the purpose is to provide a higher level of near-real-time.  As was discussed earlier, make adjustments if you desire or require collectives that receive file naming conventions (specific to date) from the WMO header of the S[AP]US99.
