...NWS Birmingham Webpage Changes Coming September 27th...

On September 27th, 2016, the look and feel of our webpage will be
changing. On this date, our office, along with all Southern Region
NWS Weather Forecast Offices, will migrate to a new layout on the
front page of our web home page. This is in response to a required
web infrastructure consolidation that will occur by the end of the
year. The change will also provide office-to-office consistency
because the layout of the home page will be set across the region.

In addition to the new front page layout, all webpage links will be
changing. You can visit the following webpage for more information
on the forthcoming changes: w2-mo.weather.gov/bmx/webpagetransition.
We will be updating this page with new information as we approach
the transition date.

Our office is working hard to ensure that the transition will be as
painless as possible, but as with any major change, there are going
to be some initial growing pains. To assist with the transition, a
webpage re-direct will be implemented for high-priority webpages for
at least a few months after the transition date.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as
we go through this major transition. If you have any questions or
concerns, please contact our webmasters at sr-bmx.webmaster@noaa.gov.
