Persistent onshore flow across the Southeast and portions of the mid-Atlantic will keep the risk of rip currents through the weekend. Rainfall could be locally heavy across Florida, especially along the eastern shoreline. Meanwhile, record warmth for portions of the Plains and Midwest with elevated fire concerns. For the west, a trough will keep the pattern unsettled with wet conditions. Read More >
NESDIS is preparing to replace a GOES-N series satellite with a GOES-R series satellite.
NWS is consolidating the management of dissemination services, under a program called the Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP)
IT Security threats require NOAA to periodically updating controls and procedures to minimize the risk of potential EMWIN operational impacts.
Improved data products for hemispheric re-transmission
Requires new antenna and receiver hardware
