1-No mention on Tropical Weather Outlook.
2-No model run to start.
3-Out of order as it is supposed to be 98L.

Something is fishy about this. (Maybe a Test?)

What is 82?

A test invest.

[cycloneye]

Is an error that they made as a test invest was made in the same area by HPC that does the tests.The HPC is not supposed to be at the header of non tests but being a mistake, this invest is not legit.

Correct header for non test invests.

80s are test systems. That had to be a mistake.

[Cyclenall]

I was just about to say, watching this thing would be as interesting as watching paint dry on a wall.

[cycloneye]

Further evidence that this is only a test.
