What these messages are

Several times a day the Senior Duty Meteorologist — the forecaster on watch over the whole national system — publishes a status message about National Weather Service operations, in dense operational shorthand. Each one below is translated into plain English, with the original text one click away. They are about NWS’s own systems, not the weather where you are.
