The National Hurricane Center (NHC), along with 26 National
Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) in Southern
Region and 15 WFOs in Eastern Region, will commence with internal
software and hardware testing of the national TCV product
collaboration process for the Atlantic basin on Monday, May 21
and continue daily through Thursday, May 24, 2018.  During this
period, NHC will also request test runs of the Hurricane Weather
Research and Forecast (HWRF) and Hurricanes in a Multi-scale
Ocean-coupled Non-hydrostatic (HMON) models.

Internal testing will begin at approximately 1400 GMT and
terminate at 1900 GMT daily during scheduled test days.  In the
event of inclement weather, Friday, May 25, 2018 has been
reserved to serve as backup date for any portion of testing that
was delayed.

Internal TCV test products are not intended to be released
externally through NWS dissemination and communication systems.

Periodic NHC and WFO internal software and hardware testing will
continue during the remainder of 2018. The national TCV product
for the Atlantic basin will contain a summary of NHC/WFO
collaborated wind and/or storm surge watches and warnings,
