SUBJECT: Transition of NOAA Weather Wire Service Open Interface
(NWWS-OI) to New Infrastructure, Effective April 23, 2024,
with a 6-hour Test on March 26, 2024
On or about April 23, 2024, at 1400 UTC, the NOAA Weather Wire
Service
Open Interface (NWWS-OI) will be transitioned to a new hardware
platform
on the Integrated Dissemination Program (IDP). In the event of a
Critical
Weather Day (CWD) or an Enhanced Caution Event (ECE), the changes
will
occur after the event expires. Details on critical weather can be
found at
https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/
There are no functional changes to the services provided or top-level
application domain name (nwws-oi.weather.gov). Users who are
specifically
allowing connections on port 5222 to IPs currently associated with
the
domain name will need to make a network update to continue using the
service. After the go-live date, nwws-oi.weather.gov will resolve to
either nwws-oi-bldr.weather.gov or nwws-oi-cprk.weather.gov. If users
need
more information about proper network configuration, please use the
contact below.
Additionally, on March 26, 2024 between the hours of 12Z and 18Z,
NCEP
Central Operations (NCO) will conduct a test of the new system making
one
of the new domains listed above the active NWWS-OI instance. If March
26th
is declared a Critical Weather Day or Enhanced Caution Event, the
backup
date will be April 2nd.
