           Estimates (QPE) from May 15, 2013 Through

The NWS Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) has extended
the comment period for seeking user feedback on its experimental
Satellite Rainfall Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE)
Web page through November 30, 2013.

From September 23, 2011, through November 30, 2012, TAFB has been

providing, on an experimental basis, event-driven Satellite
Rainfall Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) and model-
derived Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) for tropical
cyclones and tropical disturbances affecting areas within the
National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center
areas of responsibility (AOR). The feedback period has been
extended to solicit sufficient feedback to ensure the product can
be considered for operational implementation.

These experimental rainfall QPE and QPF products are event driven
and are available 4 times a day at 0400 1000 1600 and 2200 UTC.
