National Weather Service radar site goes dark nationwide as FAA halts all flights
National Weather Service reports nationwide radar website outage amid FAA stop
The National Weather Service reported nationwide internet and communications failures on Friday, leaving its forecasts and radar products unavailable or outdated while technicians worked to restore service. Local offices kept issuing watches and warnings. The outage coincided with an FAA ground stop that halted departing flights across the country at 2:54 p.m. Central Time due to communication problems at Air Route Traffic Control Centers, though no link between the two has been confirmed.
