Unidata CONDUIT users:

On Tuesday, June 29 at 12Z, a suite of NDFD products will be added to
the IDD CONDUIT datastream in response to community requests.

NB:  The addition of the NDFD products to CONDUIT could be delayed by the
declaration of a Critical Weather Day(s) by the NWS.

The set of products being added are detailed in:

    ->NDFD products included in CONDUIT

Comments:

- the set of NDFD products being added will increase the CONDUIT
  data volume by approximately 1 GB/day

- current GRIB tables will be needed to process the data products
  correctly in GEMPAK

- the new products have been successfully tested in the TDS (THREDDS
  Data Server) and IDV

Acknowledgement:

- since NDFD products are not generated or served by NCEP, the addition
  of the products to CONDUIT was not straightforward.  Unidata would like
  to extend its thanks to all of the folks in NOAA who made this addition
  possible and who created procedures that will make it simpler to update
  CONDUIT contents in the future!

  In particular, we want to thank:

  Rebecca Cosgrove
  Patrick O'Reilly
  NCEP/NCO Dataflow Team
