Subject:  Redirection of Select Webpages Starting

NWS will start to redirect legacy web pages that contain
observed weather condition data to alternative web pages
containing the same information but in a different layout
starting on or about Jan 17, 2012.  This change is required to
eliminate duplication of effort within NWS.

An example page that will be redirected is:

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KORD.html

This will be redirected to:

http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KORD.html

A jump page will be in place for 30 days starting on Jan 17,
2012 and will be removed on Feb 17, 2012.  This page will
explain the purpose of the redirect.

Once the jump page has been removed, the redirection will show a
http response code of 301 Moved Permanently.
