Public Information Statement
National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO
341 PM CDT Thu Jun 5 2025

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Kansas City/Pleasant
Hill MO will be conducting a required, scheduled update to their
Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) system from
7 am Monday June 9th through approximately 4 pm Wednesday June
11th. 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 the public.

During the time of the update, forecast operations will be
conducted by our service back-up office in Saint Louis MO 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:

NOAA Weather Transmitters: All NOAA Weather Radio transmitters
maintained by NWS Kansas City/Pleasant Hill will be off air through
the time of the install. This includes the following transmitters
in Kansas and Missouri: Kansas City, St. Joseph, Lancaster, La
Plata, Clinton, Carrollton, Maryville, Trenton, Cameron, and
Parker.

Local products and graphical forecast maps that are hosted in
numerous places on www.weather.gov/eax may not be updated. This
includes all maps on the Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook page
(https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=eax).

The KEAX radar will remain operational, and its products will continue
to be distributed as normal. However, the TMCI radar data will be
unavailable for the duration of this upgrade.

The forecast office in Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO will remain open
and staffed throughout this period for public and partner phone
calls and additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS.
