BMUS93 KBIS 041401 STQBIS *** weather.gov/spot open request status *** *** Emergency Note from Virgil Middendorf - 1657Z 6/29/2018 *** weather.gov/spot is not transmiting STQs to AWIPS. Use manual entry options in GFE Spot formatter to generate your forecasts. In addition, FWS products may not post on website. Use Initialize Forecast link on website and cut/paste forecast into this interface if needed. Hello, this is a Pending Request notification product that will remind you to deal with pending requests within your service area on the http://weather.gov/spot/monitor/?wfo=bis page. Below is a list of incidents that are in request pending status and may need a forecast. You are getting this notification for one or more reasons detailed as follows... 1) You may not have received the STQ product for this/these incident(s), because of STQ transmission issues on the web farm/TOC. First run Change Request on the website to attempt another send of the STQ product. If that does not work, then run the Manual options in Spot formatter. Open TOC ticket for transmission issue. 2) Certain messages state that you are minutes, hours, days late in filling a forecast request. If a valid request, then I would post a forecast. However, the customer might have entered the wrong forecast deliver date/time. If that is the case, then run the Change Request link on website and fix it. Otherwise delete request. 3) Certain messages state that you have up to x minutes to complete the forecast. If this is a valid request, then work on the forecast and try to meet the deadline specified by the customer. 4) Customers occasionally submit multiple requests for the same incident, instead of using the Change Request functionality. If you only need to post a forecast to only one of the requests, then delete the request(s) that will not get a forecast posted to it. 5) Customers may have unintentually run "Copy Info into New Request for This Incident" or the "Request Forecast Update" link. You do not want to delete such requests, because forecasts have been posted against the incident. If the incident is finished, then Archive the incident. Otherwise, edit the incident and sent the deliver date/time to when the next forecast is needed. 6) Customers occasionally submit illegal requests on the website, like for a private prescribed burn. In this case, just delete the request. 7) If it is a test incident generated by someone in your office, then delete the incident. No need to generate a forecast for this incident.
