          DEPUTY DIRECTOR, NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER
          (NSSFC)

SUBJECT:  UPDATE OF COMPUTER AND PRODUCT OUTAGES AT NSSFC        

NOTE:  THE FOLLOWING CHANGE HAS NO IMPACT TO NWWS USERS.

FILE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) PROBLEMS CONTINUE AT NSSFC. 
NESDIS/PRC PROGRAMMERS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HELP IN BRINGING THE
FMS BACK ON LINE.  WE STILL APPEAR TO BE A FEW DAYS FROM HAVING
THIS UP AND RUNNING.  THIS MEANS THAT WE CANNOT INGEST MODEL DATA
OR PRODUCE MODEL DERIVED FIELDS USING OUR IBM MAINFRAME.

WE CONTINUE TO FINALIZE THE BACKUP PROGRAM FOR CREATING AUTO
RADAR OBSERVATIONS (ROBs) FROM THE WSR-88D SITES ON A FILE
SERVER.  WE ARE CURRENTLY ABLE TO INGEST MODEL DATA REMOTELY FROM
THE NESDIS/PRC MAINFRAME AT CAMP SPRINGS...MARYLAND.  WE NEED TO
MAKE A NUMBER OF SOFTWARE CHANGES IN THE PROGRAM OPERATING ON THE
FILE SERVER.  WE MAY HAVE THESE CHANGES MADE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT
MORE LIKELY THEY WILL BE FINISHED EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  WE ARE
ALSO MAKING SOME EMERGENCY CHANGES TO THE HARDWARE ON THE SERVER.

WE ARE FORECASTING THAT AUTOMATED ROBS FROM THE WSR-88D SITES
WILL BE GENERATED ON TUESDAY MORNING.

ALL OTHER SYSTEMS ARE NORMAL AND PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
BEING MET.

AN UPDATED STATUS MESSAGE WILL BE SENT ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 15TH.

END
