Public Information Statement

The Great Falls National Weather Service office will be undergoing a
computer upgrade of their systems that require some regular products
and services to be unavailable between the morning of Monday, May
19th and sometime Wednesday, May 21st. This includes suspended
service of the NOAA Weather Radio transmitters and some routine
climate text products such as the Daily Climate Report (CLI),
Preliminary Monthly Climate Data (CF6), and Routine Temperature and
Precipitation (RTP). These products and services will become
unavailable the morning of Monday, May 19th and should resume
sometime Wednesday, May 21st.

The forecast office will continue regular operations via backup
means during this time with all other normally scheduled products
and services continuing uninterrupted.

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary suspension of
these products and services may cause. The observation data used to
create the impacted climate text products will still be available
for users throughout this timeframe.

We encourage users in the area to have multiple ways to receive
warnings and to ensure they have Wireless Emergency Alerts turned on
on their phones.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email the office at
nws.greatfalls@noaa.gov
