Notices & outages ...SPOT FAILOVER SCHEDULED AT 1330Z TODAY THUR 30 JULY 2026...

This is a heads-up about planned work on SPOT. Brief interruptions are expected during the work window rather than something having gone wrong. The notice expects an interruption of up to 15 minutes.

SPOT is the application forecasters use to issue spot forecasts — site-specific forecasts requested for wildfires and other incidents.

For most people this is invisible — forecasts keep coming. It matters most to anyone pulling NWS data directly, and to forecasters who lean on the affected feed.
