You might want to check out the new Aviation Weather Services book (AC 00-45H) that was made available (draft copy) on the internet recently. The NWS personnel have been busy. More than a few changes coming soon. The NWS is definitely leaning towards reducing the amount of textual products available in favor of Web-based graphical products. So far, I've noticed they're planning on phasing out the Weather Depiction Chart, Constant Pressure Chart and Area Forecasts in favor of various graphical products available on the net. Also noticed that PIREPS will have a new friend called an AIREP. I'm sure there's more. Here's the link to the book:

Also found an example of the new Graphical Forecasts for Aviation product that will replace the textual Area Forecast. Very interesting.
