The NWS Weather Prediction Center (WPC), the Ocean Prediction Center
(OPC), and Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) 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 Wednesday, June
24, 2020.

Internal testing will begin at approximately 1400 GMT and terminate
at 1900 GMT daily during the scheduled test day.

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:

          cumulative) for 34 kt, 50 kt, and 64 kt
     - Hazard grid (including tropical storm, hurricane, and
          storm surge hazards)

The NWS will continue periodic internal tropical software testing
during the remainder of 2020. The national TCV product for the
