Excerpt from NOAA:

"Recent software upgrades to the computer system that forecasters use to produce weather predictions, called AWIPS 2offsite link (The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System), are allowing for the change to mixed-case letters. The switch will happen on May 11, after the required 30-day notification period to give customers adequate time to prepare for the change."

Now if they can just bring back the forecaster with the beautiful voice to read the forecasts for the radio, instead of the computer generated voice that sounds like a guy with a bad eastern European accent. I remember when the Burlington NWS forecast used to be read by "Crystal Truelove." (I am NOT making that up, that was the forecaster's name on the radio.) :)
