   automated tweets - March 31, 2023

   Dear [NWS] Partners,   
      
   On Wednesday, Twitter announced that there will be a limit on the   
   number of automated Twitter posts (tweets) that a given account can   
   send utilizing their API service. This limit will be 1,500 per month   
   and 50 per 24-hour period. When implemented, the new limit will impact   
   every account that utilizes automated posting (e.g. this) of – but not   
   limited to – watches, warnings, and advisories.   
      
   NWS Communications is in contact with Twitter to convey the   
   anticipated impacts on our operations and our followers and to seek   
   clarification about whether and when this policy will apply to   
   NWS. NWS Public Affairs has prepared a media holding statement to   
   reply to media inquiries if the limit begins to affect our   
   operations. Questions on this topic can be directed to   
   nws.pa@noaa.gov. In addition, we are working on a national PNS (Public   
   Information Statement) and will provide it soon.   
      
   KEY MESSAGE: As always, communications via social media is a   
   supplemental service provided by NWS to extend the reach of NWS   
   information. Twitter feeds and tweets do not always reflect the most   
   current information for forecasts, watches, and warnings and you   
   should always have multiple means for receiving weather information   
   and alerts.   
      
   If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.   
      
   Thanks   
      
   Nelson
