A storm system will deliver heavy mountain snow and rainfall to southern California and the Desert Southwest through late week. The heavy rainfall may pose a flash flood risk, especially to burn scar locations. Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes will be possible from the Southern Plains to the Mississippi Valley, Mid South, and Mid Atlantic through Wednesday. Read More >
| SERVICE | STATUS | EVENT |
|---|---|---|
| NWWS - Satellite PID 201 | OPERATIONAL | |
| NWWS - Open Interface (OI) | OPERATIONAL | Primary Next planned transition will be April 14-16. |
NWWS will be transitioning every month (second or third week) for security and software upgrades. This timeline may be delayed or extended based on holidays, declared Critical Weather Days (https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/cwd/), and emergency patches.
Planned dates: April 14-16 May 12-13 June 9-11 July 14-16 August 11-13
NWWS services as a status will remain “operational” (GREEN) until a planned or unplanned “outage” occurs (RED). There is a seamless service transition between the primary and backup systems with a 30-90 minute delay while files and systems re-sync . E-notification will be provided when a service transition period is planned so users can maintain their respective system interfaces/connections over these temporary breaks in service. Please ensure your system firewalls allow both NWWS IP addresses listed under CONFIGURATION.

PROBLEM: If you did not completely exit the XMPP program before shutting down, a “phantom” account will continue to exist. This “phantom” account will prevent you logging into the NWWS-OI. Do not ask for account reset. RECOMMENDED SOLUTION: Empty the cache and then log back in using the assigned user_ID and password.
