Subject:   Hurricane Threats and Impacts (HTI) Mosaic Testing on 
           April 25, 2024
 
Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) in the National Weather Service (NWS) 
Southern and Eastern Regions will commence with Hurricane Threats and 
Impacts (HTI) threat grid mosaic testing on Thursday, April 25.  
Testing will begin at approximately 1100 AM EDT/1500 UTC.  Test activities 
will take approximately 1 hour; however, NWS dissemination systems may 
take up to an hour and a half to purge all test data.  All test data 
is expected to be cleared by 130 PM EDT/1730 UTC.  

For the test, HTI grids will be created for hurricane Wind Threat, 
Storm Surge Threat, Flooding Rain Threat, and Tornado Threat at each 
participating WFO.  Those grids are stitched together into storm-scale 
HTI graphics.  The HTI Mosaic graphics are available in Keyhole Markup 
Language (KML) format on the following webpage: 
https://www.weather.gov/hti 

The mosaics are also available through the National Digital Forecast 
Database and on web pages hosted by the Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) 
affected by the tropical cyclone.  These webpages use the following URL 
format, where wfo should be replaced with the 3 digit identifier 
for the WFO of interest:

NWS Eastern Region WFOs:
https://www.weather.gov/wfo/tropical#hti 

NWS Southern Region WFOs: 
https://www.weather.gov/srh/tropical?office=wfo#hti 

More details on HTI can be found in the Product Description Document:
https://www.weather.gov/media/srh/tropical/PDD_HTI.pdf 

Periodic software and hardware testing in preparation for tropical 
cyclone events will continue during the remainder of 2024.
