...The Hurricane Network will begin to use local time for Atlantic 
advisory products starting October 1... 

The Hurricane Network will begin to reference the time of day in 
official advisory products as well as Tropical Cyclone Update 
messages using the location of that tropical cyclone. This change 
will affect the time and date header when a system changes between 
the AST, EST/EDT, and CST/CDT time zones. The use of local time will 
begin on October 1, 2019.

The issuance times for advisories will be retained at a six-hourly 
interval at 0300 UTC, 0900 UTC, 1500 UTC, and 2100 UTC. Users should 
be reminded that special advisories could be issued at any time when 
there is a significant forecast change or when tropical cyclone 
watches and warnings are issued. 

Please send any comments or feedback regarding this change to the 
following point of contact:
