Nothing I can find. Looks like someone playing and they forgot to keep it "private".

That is what I thought as the 90's are reserved for real systems.

Sorry I was hyper.

It's just the 'puter locked up trying to do the models and I was listening to the Yankees-DRays game and it sounded for a moment like NY could lose to them.

I know 80's are tests but was just flipping out (guys from Virginia do that sometimes, ya know?)

Whew. I'm better now. :wink:

It says "THE ABOVE HAS BEEN A TEST MESSAGE" in the original post. The last sentence.

All of the model runs say that phrase, even named storms. It's a reminder that it's model data.
