Details/Specifics of Change: On September 21, 2020, starting at 0600 UTC, NWS/NCO will be performing network maintenance that will cause a product and web service outage for three hours. Most or all satellite products (and other NWS products) from NOAAPort/SBN including GOES-16 and GOES-17 Sectorized Cloud and Moisture AWIPS Imagery will be either unavailable or will experience intermittent disruptions during the three hour outage.
