Subject:National Tropical Cyclone Watch Warning Product

The National Hurricane Center (NHC), the Ocean Prediction Center
(OPC), the Weather Prediction Center (WPC), and National Weather
Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) in the NWS Southern
Region and in the NWS Eastern Region, will commence with internal
software and hardware testing of the national tropical cyclone
watch/warning (TCV) product collaboration process for the Atlantic
basin on Monday, May 13 and continue daily through Thursday, May
16, 2019.

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 17, 2019 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. The text products affected by collaboration testing are
the National Tropical Cyclone Watch/Warning (TCV) products issued
under the following AWIPS Product Identifiers (PIL) and World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) Identifiers (ID):

TCV Product                    AWIPS PIL   WMO ID
------------                   ---------   -------

National TCV                   TCVAT/1-5/  WTNT/81-85/ KNHC

In addition, the following National Digital Forecast Database
(NDFD) elements will be created for this test:
- tropical cyclone wind probabilities (incremental and cumulative)
for 34 kt, 50 kt, and 64 kt
- hazard grid (including tropical storm, hurricane, and storm
surge hazards)

Periodic NHC and WFO internal software and hardware testing will
continue during the remainder of 2019. The national TCV product
