The National Weather Service (NWS) Fort Worth office will undergo a scheduled system upgrade during the week of June 16, 2025. This important update may cause temporary disruptions or make all NOAA Weather Radio transmitters maintained by NWS Fort Worth unavailable for extended periods.
What to Expect
While the NWS Fort Worth office will remain open and staffed throughout the upgrade, it’s important to note that some services, particularly NOAA Weather Radio alerts, may be interrupted. These disruptions will affect several areas, including Cisco, Dallas-Fort Worth, Cumby, and more. During this time, backup offices will be ready to take over operations to minimize any further issues.
Prepare for Service Interruptions
If you rely on NOAA Weather Radio for hazardous weather alerts, it’s advised to have an alternative method for receiving important weather information, as the radio service may be temporarily unavailable. Alternative sources such as local news stations, weather apps, or social media updates from NWS may provide critical weather alerts.
Why the Upgrade Is Important
The system upgrade is crucial for enhancing the quality and reliability of weather services provided to the community. By improving the system, the NWS aims to continue delivering timely and accurate weather information and warnings to residents.
