HOURLY RUC UPDATE..
PROGRAMMERS STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT BAD DATA IS THE CAUSE
OF THE RUC MODEL FAILURES WHICH BEGAN AS EARLY AS 03Z.
AS A RESULT.. RUC OUTPUT THE PAST FEW HRS HAS BEEN THE
FOLLOWING.. 05Z RUC WENT OUT TO 8HRS
06Z RUC WENT OUT TO 7HRS
07Z RUC WENT OUT TO ONLY 5HRS.
WE EXPECT THE 08Z RUC TO ONLY PRODUCE OUTPUT OUT TO NO MORE
THAN 4HRS..09Z RUC MAYBE JUST OUT 2-3HRS AND MAYBE BY 12Z-13Z A
COMPLETE NORMAL RUN OF THE RUC HOURLY OUTPUT WILL BE
AVAILABLE. DEVELOPERS WERE CONTACTED AND THEY ALSO
BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE ISSUE. PROGRAMMERS ARE UNSURE OF A
FIX TO RID THE MODEL OF THIS BAD DATA.. BUT ARE CONTINUING
TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM.
