Subject:  Redirection of Select Webpages Starting

          on or about January 17, 2012

 

NWS will start to redirect legacy web pages that contain observed weather condition data to alternative web pages containing the same information but in a different layout starting on or about Jan 17, 2012.  This change is required to eliminate duplication of effort within NWS.

 

An example page that will be redirected is:

 

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KORD.html

 

This will be redirected to:

 

http://www.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KORD.html

 

A “jump” page will be in place for 30 days starting on Jan 17, 2012 and will be removed on Feb 17, 2012.  This page will explain the purpose of the redirect. 

 

Once the jump page has been removed, the redirection will show a http response code of 301 Moved Permanently.
