NWS Binghamton Computer/Systems Maintenance June 2-4, 2025

News Headlines

The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Binghamton, NY will be conducting a required, scheduled update to our Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) system from the morning of Monday, June 2, 2025 through at least the afternoon of Wednesday, June 4, 2025. The NWS uses the AWIPS computer system to display and integrate weather and water information, and to send life-saving information, such as weather and water warnings, to you and the public.

During the time of the update, forecast operations will be conducted via our service back-up office in State College, PA to minimize any potential interruption to services. No impacts to our core services of forecast products and weather watches, warnings and advisories are expected during this period. However, limited impacts will occur to the following services:

All NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) Transmitters maintained by NWS Binghamton will be off the air (as well as our phone-accessed forecast offered at 607-729-1597) through the time of the install. This includes the following NWR transmitters: In Northeast PA - Honesdale, Towanda, and Wilkes-Barre. In Central NY - Binghamton, Call Hill, Elmira, Ithaca, Mt. Washington, Norwich, Stamford, Syracuse, and Walton (the long duration outage of the Cooperstown transmitter also continues).

Locally-derived graphical forecast maps that are hosted in various places on www.weather.gov/bgm will not be updated. This includes all maps on the Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook page (https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=bgm), the "weather type" maps on our briefing page (https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=bgm), and the current temperature map on our observations page (https://www.weather.gov/bgm/productObservations).

Information and updates to Daily Climate products will also be limited June 2-4.

The forecast office at NWS Binghamton WILL remain open and staffed throughout this period for public and partner phone calls and additional functions that can be completed without the AWIPS computer system which will be undergoing the upgrade.
