SUBJECT: Removal of Experimental Southeastern U.S./Gulf of 

         Mexico Marine Weather Portal on November 30, 2012

 

Effective Friday, November 30, 2012, NWS will discontinue the experimental Southeastern United States/Gulf of Mexico Marine Weather Portal. This portal currently is online at:

 

http://forecast.weather.gov/mwp/

 

The portal has been operating in a degraded status since contract support for the site ended last year. In addition, the operating platform and data layers are outdated and thus are no longer reliable.
