Message for CONUS

Date/Time Issued:  October 16, 2015 1430 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: SAB Satellite Precipitation Guidance

for CONUS

Date/Time of Initial Impact:  November 16, 2015 1200 UTC

be issued
for the continental US (lower 48 states) but will continue to be
issued for
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.  SAB will continue
satellite
support to the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) and satellite-based

into th=
eir MPDs
(Mesoscale Precipitation Discussions).	This transition is intended to
provide a single source of centralized guidance on heavy rainfall
