They've been busy. Automatic translation of advisories into Spanish will be nice. I think previously they relied on someone from the Puerto Rico NWS office if I recall to do it.

I didn't even realize they didn't issue watches/warnings in intermediate advisories for the United States. Usually they only issued special advisories for a quick intensity change, so I guess they usually just waited until a complete advisory.

The wind radii extension is nice for further out in the extended forecast. I think they don't do the hurricane force wind field because it could be too subject to change and they probably don't want people to get hung up on those details so far out when they can change.

I also like that they will now sometimes have international rainfall data graphically. That's really important. They had text data, but seeing it graphically is really an easy way for people in other countries to pass that information along.
