The Pocatello National Weather Service office will be undergoing a computer upgrade of their systems that require some regular products and services to be unavailable between Monday May 19th and Wednesday May 21st. This includes suspended service of the NOAA Weather Radio transmitters and some routine climate text products such as the Daily Climate Report (CLI) and Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6). The forecast office will continue regular operations during this time with all other normally scheduled products and services continuing uninterrupted.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary suspension of these products and services may cause. The observation data used to create the impacted climate text products will still be available for users throughout this timeframe.

 

We encourage users in the area to have multiple ways to receive warnings and to ensure they have Wireless Emergency Alerts turned on on their phones.
