COMPUTER SYSTEM UPGRADE TO HAVE MINOR IMPACTS ON NWS GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG PRODUCT OFFERINGS JUNE 2 TO 4, 2025
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg (NWS GSP) will be conducting a required, scheduled update to their Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) computer system. NWS offices use AWIPS to display and integrate weather and water information, and to send life-saving information, such as weather and water warnings, to the public.
AWIPS is updated periodically, but this update is comprehensive and requires that the system be taken completely offline for approximately two days, from the morning of Monday, June 2 to late Wednesday, June 4. During that time, NWS GSP forecasters will produce and disseminate products for the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia using the AWIPS system at NWS Columbia, SC. Routine forecasts and any needed watches, warnings, or advisories will be issued as they normally would be.
A few of our services will be impacted due to the fact they originate only from AWIPS facilities at NWS GSP, namely:
NWS GSP will remain operational and staffed while AWIPS is offline, taking public and partner phone calls, communicating via social media, and performing other functions that can be completed without AWIPS.
