132 NOUS42 KWNO 302141 ADMNFD SPECIAL NCEP DISCUSSION CENTRAL OPERATIONS/NCEP/NWS/WASHINGTON DC 2140 UTC WED JAN 30 2002 302140Z....BACKUP FSL RUC PRODUCTS INVOKED UFN... NCEP HAS INVOKED BACKUP FSL HOURLY RUC PRODUCTS BEGINNING WITH THE 01/30/21Z RUN AND CONTINUING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE REASON IS THAT FSL HAS ACCESS TO THE ACARS DATA. SEE PARAGRAPH BELOW FOR THE DETAILS OF ACARS DATA OUTAGE. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THE BACKUP FSL TAKES 35 MIN LONGER TO RUN EXCEPT 50 MIN LONGER FOR THE 00Z AND 12Z ISSUES THAN THE OPERATIONAL NCEP VERSIONS...SO EXPECT BUILT-IN DELAYS OF THOSE LENGTHS. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE. ACARS DATA OUTAGE PERSISTS. MCI DISCOVERED A BREAK IN A CABLE BETWEEN ARINC AND THE FAA AT LEESBURG. HOWEVER THE NATURE AND LOCATION OF THE BREAK MAY RESULT IN A LENGTHY TIME TO REPAIR. NCEP AND THE GATEWAY ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO MAKE THIS DATA AVAILABLE TO THE NWS. WILL PROVIDE UPDATES AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
