...New Phone Numbers for National Weather Service Boston/Norton
Offices after the move on Tuesday, March 20...
The National Weather Service (NWS) Southern New England Weather
Forecast Office (WFO) and the Northeast River Forecast Center
(NERFC) will be moving to our new building on Tuesday, March 20.
The new office is located at 46 Commerce Way in the Norton Commerce
Park in Norton, MA. The radar will remain at the existing location
in Taunton, MA.
The new main phone number for WFO Boston/Norton will be
508-622-3250.
Recorded forecasts will be available on
508-622-3281.
The new main phone number for NERFC Boston/Norton will be
508-622-3300.
NWS forecast products and most services will be uninterrupted,
since during the move, WFO forecasters will be temporarily
relocating to the Gray, Maine Forecast Office and NERFC forecasters
will be temporarily relocating to NWS Eastern Region Headquarters
in Bohemia, New York.
If there is significant weather, Public Information Statements
listing spotter reports of snowfall, wind gusts, etc. may be limited
to only a few representative reports - far fewer than normal.

Re: NWS Norton
On Thursday I had to race up to Great Blue as we lost a T1 and I found a Verizon person working on a new circuit for NOAA so I don't think it will be long. She had accidentally bumped are jack and evidently our tab was not locked well. The NOAA transmitter was still off.
Re: NWS Hyannis?
The "Cape" broadcast 162.550 is/was coming off of Otis . Does this mean it is now being moved to Hyannis. Doesn't make much sense as I believe Hyannis proper is to be a lower overall elevation. Unless they put it up on one of the monster towers along RT 6?
