SUBJECT:          Changes to the NWS Production Suite
<snip>



    The holiday moratorium on changes to the NCEP Production Suite
will begin Tuesday, 16 December and end the week of 5 January.  All
requests for changes to the Production Suite are to be made prior to
the moratorium and should be submitted no later than 4 December.  In
addition, there will be no major implementations the week of 23
November.  As always, crisis changes will be made throughout the
moratorium to resolve operational code failures.

    During the next month additional NCEP model output will become
available on the TOC FTP server.  The tentative schedule for these
additional data are:

    2 December - Extension of the 06Z & 18Z Eta model output to 84
    hours
    2 December - Additional ensemble products
    9 December - Extension of the 00Z, 06Z, & 18Z GFS 2.5 degree
    data to 180 hours
