Public Information Statement
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
1127 AM EDT Mon May 26 2025

...NWS Wilmington, Ohio Computer Update May 27 through May 29, 2025...

The National Weather Service in Wilmington, OH will be conducting a required, scheduled
update to our Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) from the morning of
Tuesday May 27th through approximately the afternoon of Thursday May 29th. The NWS uses
the AWIPS computer system to display and integrate weather and water data, 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 managed by the National Weather
Service Forecast Office in Cleveland, OH 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 Radio Transmitters: All NOAA Weather Radio transmitters maintained by
NWS Wilmington will be off air through the time of install. This includes the following
transmitters: Cridersville, Miamisburg, Columbus, Covington, Otway, Maysville,
Owenton, Richmond and Chillicothe. Additionally, the weekly radio test scheduled for
May 28 will be postponed to Thursday, May 29.
 Local graphical forecast maps that are hosted in numerous places on
www.weather.gov/iln will not be updated. This includes all maps on the Graphical
Hazardous Weather Outlook page (https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=iln), and
the majority of the graphics on the Emergency Managers Self Brief Page
(https://www.weather.gov/iln/SelfBriefing).

The forecast office in Wilmington, OH will remain open and staffed throughout this period for
public and partner phone calls and additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS.

Meteorologist, via email at Brandon.Peloquin@noaa.gov.
