On Thursday, May 1st, 2025 the NCF will be
switching its Server Operations from the Backup

Primary AWIPS NCF (ANCF) in College Park, MD. The
switch transition will take place as follows:
.
1215 UTC - REMEDY switch to ANCF
1230 UTC - DSUPS switch to ANCF
1245 UTC - MHS switch to ANCF
1245 UTC - SBN switch to HMGS

.
Please avoid any system reboots between 12Z and
13Z.
.
The switch will not be done on a critical weather
day, or if there are other significant operational
issues warranting postponement.
.
All BNCF message distribution (MHS) will be
pointed to the ANCF. The switch will take about
20 minutes. Data will queue while the switch is in
progress and will be sent once the switch is
complete. This will affect data originating at NWS
field offices and National Centers on the AWIPS
network including radar data.

AWIPS/NCF helpdesk at 888-808-8624.
