Public Information Statement
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
117 PM CDT Thu Jun 5 2025

...NOAA WEATHER RADIO OUTAGE DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEXT WEEK...

The Austin/San Antonio National Weather Service office will be
conducting a required, scheduled update to their Advanced Weather
Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) system from Monday, June 9th
through approximately 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
 in conjunction with our service back-up office in Corpus Christi 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, all NOAA
Weather Radio transmitters maintained by NWS Austin/San Antonio will
be off air through the time of the install.

This includes the following transmitters: Austin, Carrizo Springs,
Del Rio, Dilley, DHanis, Gonzalez, Kerrville, Lagrange, Llano, San
Antonio, Seguin, and Uvalde.

The forecast office in Austin/San Antonio will remain open and
staffed throughout this period for public and partner phone calls
and additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS.
