It has been pointed out that with hourly RUC data now available on AWIPS, when loading data, if the latest run is, for example, a 16z run, one cannot see the 15z forecast out to 12h. The answer to this problem, from Jim Ramer, is to load using the "Valid time sequence" mode, and DON'T use the "Latest" mode. I tried it, and it works. For those of you with RUC products in AWIPS Procedures, you will need to reload RUC products using "Valid time sequence" in your procedure.
