Subject: Delay of the Spring 2025 Forecast Zones Implementation

Date to March 19, 2025



The National Weather Service (NWS) is delaying all zone change

implementations originally scheduled for March 18, 2025.  The

delay is due to a planned Critical Weather Day (CWD)

Declaration, prompting a zone change implementation date in a

more favorable weather window of opportunity.



The implementation date is now scheduled for Wednesday, March

19, 2025. If March 19, 2025 is also declared a CWD, another

Public Information Statement (PNS) will be issued specifying

the alternate date.
