SUBJECT: Discontinuance of the Experimental Recently Updated
On Friday,
April 20, 2012, beginning at 1200 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the
experimental RUGS will be discontinued. In 2009, the NWS established an
Internet service that allowed users of the National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) to determine
which files had been recently updated. There has been little interest expressed in this service since its
implementation. Moreover, recent hardware failures have made it impossible for
the NWS to offer this service reliably.
