[Ncep.list.fv3-announce] global-workflow: GFSv16.0.9 changes committed & v16.1.1 is incoming!

[Kate Friedman - NOAA Federal]

All,

The GFSv16.1.1 implementation (scheduled for yesterday 12z) was postponed
due to the on-going critical weather day (CWD). The implementation is now
scheduled for when CWD ends: tomorrow 5/20 at 12z.

Thanks!
