Soliciting Public Comments on
Experimental Use of Bulleted
Coastal/Lakeshore
Hazard Message (CFW) and Marine Weather
Message
(MWW) Products through May 31, 2011
Corrected
to add time reference for this implementation.
Beginning 1800
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Wednesday December 1, 2010, NWS Weather
Forecast Offices (WFO) with marine responsibility across the Continental United
States (CONUS) and outside the CONUS will issue CFW and MWW products using an
experimental bulleted format. The experimental period will end May 31, 2011.
Comments should be submitted at the following web address:
http://www.weather.gov/survey/nws-survey.php?code=bcfwmww
The experimental bulleted
format is similar to the format for severe thunderstorm and flash flood
warnings. The bulleted format is intended to make it easier to quickly gather
vital information during hazardous weather events. During the experimental
period, WFOs may temporarily revert back to the current, non-bulleted format,
to maintain mission critical warning services.
A Product Description
Document for these experimental products, with examples of bulleted CFW and MWW products, is online at:
http://products.weather.gov/viewliste.php
A list of all coastal and
Great Lakes WFOs is online at:
http://www.weather.gov/om/marine/marine_map.htm
At the close of the public
comment period, NWS will evaluate comments to determine whether to proceed with
a national implementation of bulleted CFW and MWW products.
