The National Weather Service forecast office in Lubbock, Texas will be conducting a required update to our Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) system from Monday, June 16, 2025 at 8 AM through approximately Thursday, June 19, 2025 at 5 PM. 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 by our service backup office in Norman, Oklahoma 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 Lubbock will be off-the-air through the time of the install (Monday, June 16, 2025 through Thursday, June 19, 2025), and NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts will be unavailable. This includes broadcasts from the following transmitters, in Texas: Lubbock, Plainview, Summerfield, Childress, and Dickens. The forecast office in Lubbock, Texas will remain open and staffed throughout this period for public and partner phone calls and additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS. Any questions about this update can be directed to Warning Coordination Meteorologist Marissa Pazos at marissa.pazos@noaa.gov or Meteorologist In Charge Justin Weaver at justin.weaver@noaa.gov. $$
