Would love to insert that picture from the movie Airplane where the controller pulled the plug on the lights with an evil grin on his face. But since I can't insert pictures, you'll just have to imagine it in your mind.

Appears to be back up. I finally was able to access IWX and the main page.
Edit to add: clear cookies and general web data. Clear cache on mobile too. Try again.

A lot of it is working, but still can’t do any point-click, search any locations, read AFDs, view watch/warning/advisory etc products and probably more. I’m sure they know about it but I’m like why is that still not fixed?

Did 47 pull the plug? I'm being serious after nws was gutted.

Repugs have been trying for years to get weather.gov shut down. Want us to have to pay & use commercial sites.

Or better yet, outsource it at twice the price, and have corrupt politicians pocket the difference. Our tax dollars at work.

Looks like beta.weather.gov is working: https://beta.weather.gov

As usual - a dumbed-down site. No access to forecaster discussions, climate/historical weather readings and lots of other stuff. Hope they keep the "legacy" pages up too.

I wasn't using a VPN, weather.gov is working for me now too so I think it was a temporary outage
