...Southeast Kentucky NOAA Weather Radio Outage Planned For June
23rd to June 25th, 2025...

The National Weather Service (NWS) Jackson, KY office will be
conducting a required, scheduled update to the Advanced Weather
Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) from Monday June 23rd
through Wednesday June 25th. 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.

No impacts to our core services of forecast products and weather
watches, warnings and advisories are expected during this period.
The KJKL radar will remain operational and its products will
continue to be distributed as normal. However, impacts will occur
to the NOAA Weather Radio transmitters that are maintained by the
NWS Jackson, KY office which serve southeast Kentucky. Beginning
around 8 AM on Monday, June 23rd, all of the 20 NOAA Weather Radio
broadcasts provided by the NWS Jackson, KY office will go offline
for the duration of this update. A listing of NOAA Weather Radio
transmitters that are broadcast from the NWS Jackson office can be
found online at weather.gov/nwr/wfo_list?WFO=JKL. NOAA Weather
broadcasts are expected to return to service sometime on
Wednesday, June 25th.

During periods of planned or unplanned outages it is important
to have multiple ways to receive warning information. These
alternative sources include: local television and radio, weather
apps on your mobile device, such as the FEMA or Red Cross App, and
at the NWS website at weather.gov/jkl.

Any questions can be sent to Warning Coordination Meteorologist
Jane Marie Wix at jane.wix@noaa.gov.
