[mikegeukes]

The Central Region web servers will be down for maintenance from 5 pm CDT on Wednesday April 13th, 2011 until 7 am CDT on Thursday April 14th, 2011

The National Weather Service is taking steps to improve its web services in an effort to better handle the high traffic volume that occurs during high impact weather events. To facilitate this improvement, the Central Region web servers will be down for maintenance from 5 pm CDT on Wednesday April 13th, 2011 until 7 am CDT on Thursday April 14th, 2011. During this maintenance period, any visitors to the Central Region Web pages will receive a maintenance page. The maintenance page will include links to key services including:

* Watch/Warning/Advisory Maps
* Forecasts
* Radar
* River Forecasts and Observations
* Fire Weather Forecasts
* Aviation Forecasts
* Marine Forecasts

Please note that this maintenance only impacts the Central Region Web Pages and not the following National pages:

* http://weather.gov
* http://water.weather.gov
* http://radar.weather.gov
* http://forecast.weather.gov

We apologize for any inconvenience that this maintenance may cause but the upgrades we are making will help better serve you in the future.

Do plans with the NWS/NOAA ever happen on time? Look at the dual-pol upgrade or the RR replacement of the RUC, for example.

It's working fine on my end. I had to clear my browser's cache. It was giving some weird "infinite redirect loop" error in Chrome.
