Service Alert: Reports of Technology Issues With The National Weather Service (Recovering)
| Status | RECOVERING |
|---|---|
| Started | Nov 13, 2026, 7:30 AM PST |
| Expected fix | No time given by National Weather Service yet |
| Affected | weather.gov websites (some pages outdated), NOAAPort/SBN data feed, NWS product dissemination to other data centers |
| Cyberattack? | Not yet known |
| WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUThe National Weather Service says its radars are working and there is no radar outage; some local weather webpages were showing old information. Warnings and forecasts are still being issued, so keep emergency alerts turned on and use your local NWS office or a trusted weather app. We will share more when the NWS confirms its data feed is fully restored. |
What’s happening
The NWS says radar.weather.gov and radar are operating normally, so the radar outage reports appear to come from outdated webpages. The NOAAPort/SBN data feed degradation reported earlier on Nov. 13 has not been updated, and no cause is confirmed.
“In case you heard otherwise, there is no radar outage and radar.weather.gov is fully operational! Outdated content from isolated webpages stating otherwise has been circulating.”
