...Memphis Operational Status Update...

We have a tremendous backlog of storm reports that still need to 
be posted. Due to the ongoing warning operations and the extremely
high volume of partner coordination, briefings, and media 
interviews, we simply haven't had the bandwidth to post them in 
real-time. 

We sincerely ask for your patience as we continue to balance the
delivery of critical, life-saving information during this multi-
day event while also working to mitigate staff fatigue. We are
only half way through what is a marathon. Please know that all 
reports are being carefully documented and will be posted in the 
coming days. At this time, we have made the decision to hold and 
post Local Storm Reports in bulk rather than releasing days-old 
reports during active weather. Our concern is that trickling in 
outdated information could unintentionally add confusion to an 
already chaotic operational environment. 

Additionally, we plan on focusing on warnings and communication 
and will forgo the issuance of any Special Weather Statements for
sub-severe storms this afternoon and tonight. 

Thanks for your continued support, and please keep the real time
reports coming as they are critical to the warning process. Stay
safe and take care of yourselves and others around you.
