  2. Season One Lessons Learned • Series of windows can be overwhelming at first, leading to “GUI Overload” • PreviousHLS option occasionally misused from the Overview window • Option to choose either Import or Prev on third window hard to distinguish • Had underlying, serious GFE VTEC issues that affected the HLS

  3. Needed Bug Fixes • General cleanup of spelling, grammar and punctuation generated by the formatter • Special handling added for Typhoons • Hyphenated storm names and typhoon impacts • Corrected VTEC logic to handle HU/TR hazards shared by WFOs and NHC • Will come later this winter after OB9.2 • Special GFE release

  4. Proposed Enhancements • Reorder the Watches/Warnings by significance then by coastal, inland, marine • HU.W (coastal), HI.W, HU.W (marine), etc. • Allow Watches/Warnings section areal descriptions to be configurable based on whether the zone is land or marine • Modify the Extratropical templates and interface wording • Final result based on Matt Belk’s presentation • Only activate PreviousHLS and Previous Overview option if all VTEC actions are CON • Always have Storm Information section use the latest information from the chosen TCP, regardless of whether PreviousHLS/Overview chosen

  5. Proposed New Functionality • Storm Surge and Storm Tide section wording preformatted based on surge grids • Will combine forecaster input with grid info • Standardize marine zone section options • Currently have Wind, Marine and Tornadoes sections • Replace with Wind and Seas and Tornadoes and Waterspouts • Use of Tornadoes and Waterspouts accounts for intracoastal and nearshore areas • Can be changed to just Waterspouts as default

  6. Planned Future Changes • Preformatted Inland Flooding wording • Preformatted Wind and Seas wording • If section is approved • Long-term plan to remove VTEC from HLS
