pretty short!

The shortest AFD (we called them FPUS's in those days) was one by (Dry) Dave Bjorem from the PHX Office one Spring Day in the early 1990's.
It said: NO CHG XPCD ALL POPS ZERO. That was it.

That's short by today's standards I think.

Well when theres nothing to say theres nothing to say. The office in Wakefield VA puts out a doozy every now and then

Question: Was that discussion one the main early morning/mid-afternoon issuances, or was it an update? I have seen UPDATED AFDs have similar lengths (if you can call it length ). If that was a regular early morning/mid-afternoon issuance, wow!

It was the afternoon update as I read it while at work and since I was the Chief of the Met Team I didn't work nights or weekends except under special situations.

I've seen-

No changes planned.

out of our local office.
