No conflict. That link doesn't mention radar at all. Just that the NWS website is showing outdated information.

This is kind of a big deal, given how important the weather is to the 50% of the population that works outside all day.
Not in isolation, or degree of disruption necessarily, but viewed in the context of all the other stuff going on, like Frances fridge meltdown. And the FAAs problem.
I think the matrix is getting attacked, and healing itself, with AI agents on all sides, so the headlines like this are comming out with more frequency.

A spokeswoman for the National Weather Service said a screenshot circulating online that claimed its weather radar was down was “outdated.”
The Weather Service “has not experienced a disruption to its radar systems today,” said Kim Doster, the spokeswoman.
Yea this feels worthy of mod action if it doesn’t get flagged enough.
Seems to conflict with this reporting from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-national-weather-servi...

This is an old page from Anchorage's weather service, not current.

Maybe this is what caused the groundstop?
this is eerily reminding me of "Dial F for Frankenstein" by Arthur C. Clarke

What if this is an orchestrated attack? Microsoft, FAA, now NWS...
I think it is at least plausible that NWS and FAA are related.
There did seem to be early confusion about whether the ground stop was related to radio or radar.
Especially since so many weather installations are located at airports. I have to wonder how much of the comms are shared.
The MS outage was due to a capacity upgrade that went wrong https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cq5y10ge3dp3t
Perhaps a salient reminder that shutting down the NWS has been a goal of Trump's since his first administration.
He originally tried to put a CEO of AccuWeather, who doesn't believe the NWS should exist, in charge of the NOAA.
See additionally the quite old 2005 proposal AccuWeather was also tied to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Weather_Service_Dutie...
‘We don’t know what’s happening but we know for sure it’s not a cyberattack’. Hmmmmmm
The article was there, but has apparently been retconned out of existence.
So is this a solar storm?
