NOTE TO NWWS SUBSCRIBERS:  THE FOLLOWING CHANGE HAS NO IMPACT TO

EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1 AT 0000 UNIVERSAL COORDINATED
TIME /UTC/...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE /NWS/ OFFICE IN SALT
LAKE CITY UTAH WILL RESUME ISSUING TRANSCRIBED WEATHER BROADCAST
/TWEB/ FORECASTS FOR THE SIX ROUTES SHOWN BELOW.  STANDARD TWEB
FORECASTS FOR THESE ROUTES HAD BEEN SUSPENDED AND REPLACED WITH
AREA TWEBS DURING A TEST PERIOD WHICH BEGAN IN NOVEMBER 1997. 
DURING THE TEST PERIOD...TWEB ROUTES 380 AND 386 CONTAINED TWEB
AREA FORECASTS FOR NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN UTAH...RESPECTIVELY. THE
REMAINING ROUTES...TWEB 312...313...381...AND 382...REFERRED THE
CUSTOMER TO ONE OF THE TWO UTAH AREA TWEB FORECASTS.  THE
CUSTOMER RESPONSE TO THE TEST WAS MIXED.  THE MAIN OBJECTION TO
THE TEST CONCEPT WAS THAT MOST OF THE SUSPENDED TWEB ROUTES HAD
ANCHOR POINTS OUTSIDE OF UTAH WHERE AREA TWEB FORECASTS WERE NOT
AVAILABLE.  THEREFORE...EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1 1999...THE SIX TWEB
ROUTE FORECASTS IN UTAH WILL BE RESTORED TO THEIR ORIGINAL
FORMAT...AS SHOWN BELOW.
