change to their 24, 48, and 96 hr forecast surface charts

Just got a note from an off shore friend that need our attention.....

Hey all, I just came by this info--our Bureaucracies are at it again---Please read below and check this out---It is extremely important that we get this decision reversed---when at sea we need all the weather info we can get.

The Ocean Prediction Center recently made a change to their 24, 48, and 96 hr forecast surface charts to remove the 24 hr previous track position for pressure centers. There are a number of reasons why this decision should be reversed. Your input is needed by May 1. You can either:
--go to http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/feedback_tracks.shtml and follow the instructions given or
--Email Tony Siebers at anthony.siebers@noaa.gov

Take a look and let them know what you think.
