The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Fort Worth, Texas, will undergo a system upgrade during the week of June 16, 2025. This upgrade may cause temporary outages on NOAA Weather Radio transmitters, which are used to send important weather alerts to the public.
Weather Forecasting Will Continue Without Disruption
Even though the NOAA Weather Radio service might be affected, the Fort Worth NWS office will remain open and staffed. Forecasts, alerts, and other weather services will still be available. If any technical problems arise, backup NWS offices are ready to take over operations and keep the information flowing.
Areas That May Experience Radio Outages
The system upgrade could affect radio transmitters in places like Cisco, Dallas-Fort Worth, Cumby, and nearby areas. People living in these regions who rely on NOAA Weather Radio should plan ahead for this potential service disruption.
What You Should Do to Stay Informed
During this upgrade, it’s very important to have other ways to receive emergency weather updates. You can:
- Use weather apps on your smartphone
- Follow trusted local news channels or websites
- Sign up for emergency alerts via SMS or email
This is especially important during hazardous weather conditions, when quick updates can help keep you safe.
