Thus, the implementation of the new nowCOAST Version 5.2 has been postponed until sometime in October 2018. We are working with NCEP Central Operations to determine a new date. An announcement will be sent once we have a tentative date. <div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>John Kelley</div><div>nowCOAST Project Manager</div><div>NOAA/NOS/CSDL/CMMB</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">NOAA/NOS nowCOAST STATUS MESSAGE<br>
