Users of Unidata national composite radar products:

A year 2021 bug in GEMPAK is causing all nexrad national composite
images to contain a 1921 date instead of 2021, so the images being
produced are likely not usable.

Bug fixes discussed recently on the gembud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email
list will be applied to the code in an attempt to get the national
compositing routines working correctly again.  ETA for return of
good images is currently unknown.

We apologize for the disruption in the provision of national composite
radar products!

Please send any/all questions to:

Unidata Datastream Support <support-datastream@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Best regards,
