Notices & outages ...IRIS FAILOVER...

NWS is reporting a problem affecting IRIS. Some data may be missing, delayed or slow until it is fixed.

IRIS is an NCO data handling system.

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.
