Re: Mets, please advise of the impact of this from NCEP

here is a some information concerning the data that has been included in the 00Z run:
NCEP Operational Status Message
Thu Oct 20 01:39:59 2005 GMT
NOUS42 KWNO 200136
ADMNFD SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION
CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC
0130 UTC THU OCT 20 2005

200130Z...THE 00Z NAM STARTED ON TIME. FOR THE START OF THE 00Z CYCLE NCEP RECEIVED 27 UPPER AIR REPORTS FROM CANADA...2 FROM THE CARIBBEAN...NONE FROM MEXICO.

UPPER AIR DATA LOOKED VERY GOOD FOR THE START OF THE 00Z NAM.

A USAFR RECON AIRCRAFT TRANSMITTED A FEW DROPS AND FLIGHT LEVEL REPORTS IN SUPPORT OF HURRICANE WILMA OPERATIONS BEFORE THE START OF THE 00Z CYCLE.

A GOES EAST RSO IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 22/2326Z. KNEAS/SDM/NCO/NCEP

The Mets will need to comment on if this appears to be enough data to make a difference.

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
