...NWS Pueblo Computer System Upgrade Outage...

The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Pueblo, Colorado
will be conducting a required, scheduled update to their Advanced
Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) computer starting
at 6 AM Tuesday June 3rd, and lasting through 6 PM Thursday June
5th. The NWS uses AWIPS to display and integrate weather and water
information, and to send life saving weather and water warnings
to the public.

During the time of the update, forecast operations will be
conducted by our NWS service back up office in Boulder, Colorado
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.

All NOAA Weather Radio Transmitters maintained by NWS Pueblo will
be off the air throughout the time of the install. This includes
WXM-52 for the Pueblo area, WXM-54 for Alamosa and the San Luis
Valley, WXM-56 for the Colorado Springs area, KJY-81 for the Canon
City area, WNG-579 for the Walsenburg area, WWG-23 for the La
Junta area, WWG-44 for the Fowler area, KWN-60 for the Lamar
area, and WNG-664 for the Springfield area. All NOAA Weather Radio
broadcast products, including severe weather and flood warnings,
as well as weather forecasts for south central and southeast
Colorado will be available on our homepage, weather.gov/pub.
Severe weather warnings will still be sent through the Wireless
Emergency Alert (WEA) System and other weather apps.

NWS Pueblo will remain open and staffed throughout this period for
public and partner phone calls and additional functions that can
be completed without AWIPS.

Please send any questions or concerns on our upcoming computer
system upgrade outage to: nws.pueblo@noaa.gov
