Thank you to everyone who attended my #AMS2020 talk this morning!

@NickPBassill @SimonLeeWx @wxcharts NCO encountered some dataflow problems overnight. I think they are fixed. You can view the current model status here: https://t.co/YO7p0LkC35 and any messages here: https://t.co/Mov9072xg0

@syryquil Thanks, we'll take a look at it.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@runaskarbo There are no plans to bring the graphics back. Digital output will continue until GFS v16, when it will either be merged in (and possibly have graphics available there) or discontinued.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@runaskarbo I'm trying to find the answer, but the person who I believe may know is on leave until mid-July.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@syryquil @AnthonyC_H That's a different initialization. Problem is today's 00z; that's yesterday's

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@MassachusettsWx @mfdwx @cwalteroverman Correct; GEFS will remain GSM-based until its next upgrade sometime next year.

[National Weather Service @NWS]

.@NOAA’s flagship weather model is undergoing a significant upgrade today to improve future forecasts of severe weather, winter storms, and tropical cyclones. Read more at https://t.co/hvq6kDVMGc #GFS

@wxmann Presentations from our official evaluation, including evaluations from each of our forecast centers (NHC, SPC, CPC, etc) and regional centers, are available at the top of https://t.co/hmF7EHPcSJ

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

After being delayed by the government shutdown, FV3-GFS is now tentatively scheduled to go operational on Mar 20, pending successful completion of the 30-day technical test.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@VORTEXJeff We'll take a look at it.

The postponed NOAA/NCWCP open house has been rescheduled for 2019 May 4. https://t.co/4o9Rjc9RkR

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

NCWCP (where EMC is located) is having our annual open house next month! Come Sat Sept 15 10:00 - 3:30 to learn and participate in a number of weather-related activities. Free shuttle from the College Park Metro station. https://t.co/4o9Rjc9RkR

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

Due to Hurricane Florence, this weekend's scheduled open house has been postponed. Make-up date to be announced later.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@CoasterBGW @TropicalTidbits One note: this Gantt chart is a bit older; GEFS v12 will not have ocean-ice coupling (it remains in future plans though). However, v12 will include a "two-tier" SST: relaxing SST to CFS forecast. This is mainly to support the new subseasonal forecast period.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

@TropicalTidbits @CoasterBGW In the meantime, GEFS will continue to use the GSM, but with initial conditions from the FV3-based DA system. GEFS v12 (FY20Q2) will have several advances, including the new dycore and stochastic physics, which have produced substantial improvements.

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

ALL evaluation material is available at https://t.co/C3SzD61XAz

[NWS EMC Social Media @NWSEMC]

The acting NCEP directory has conditionally APPROVED implementation for the FV3-GFS as GFS v15. Implementation date is projected for late Jan.
