Is their website down or overloaded? Getting an HTTP 403 Forbidden error.

 

[Brandon Jenkins]

No issues on my end.

Jeff, I have problems with both the spc site and the main noaa.gov site all the time. I believe that the servers become overloaded, and then don't respond to requests. I can usually get a response if I refresh the browser a few times.

I'm getting the same error.

I'm a student at the University of Alabama and last Friday I spent the day at the NWS office in Birmingham. Their lead forecaster was showing me how to use their software & NOAA FLS and she said their servers get overloaded all the time during severe weather days. She noted the entire system desperately needs to be upgraded yet would cost a fortune to do so. On several occasions while in the field with 1-2 bars of AT&T's renowned Edge network I've succumbed to the HTTP 403 error
