Everyone
Due to some upgrades at the national weather service State College office between May 12 and up to May 14th forecasting services will be handled by a different office and you will probably notice that the national weather services NOAA Radio stations will be off the air. ?They will return when the upgrades are complete.

Hi All,
The National Weather Service Forecast Office in?State College, PA?will be conducting a required, scheduled update to our Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) system from the morning of?Monday, May 12, 2025 through the afternoon of?Wednesday, May 14, 2025. 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?you and?the public.
During the time of the update (and possibly into Thursday, May 15), forecast operations will be conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in?Binghamton, NY 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?State College?will be off the air through the time of the install. This includes the following transmitters:?Warren;?Coudersport;?Wellsboro;?Clearfield;?State College;?Williamsport;?Johnstown;?Altoona;?Huntingdon;?and Harrisburg.
- Local graphical forecast maps that are hosted in various places on??will not be updated. This includes all maps on the Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook page (?)?and many graphics focused on central PA and all of PA on our Briefing page ().
The forecast office in State College?will remain open and staffed throughout this period for public and partner phone calls and additional functions that can be completed without AWIPS.
If you have any questions, please contact?Jonathan Guseman, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, by email at?jonathan.guseman@...?or by phone at (814)?954-6384.??
