Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

After we got our systems back up, the national composites immediately started flowing again. The other McIDAS data (feeding from UIUC) finally came back up around 11/00Z. BTW, I've been keeping close tabs on various data that we receive through our NOAAPORT system and that is also received via IDD. The IDD feed is far from reliable. As an example, several hourly MDR radar summary product files (received via IDD) are woefully populated with data or missing altogether during each 24-hour period. These are small products, so you would expect better reliability. Surface hourly observations also show degradations from time to time each day. Our NOAAPORT system proves much greater reliability. However, our building is being expanded and fully renovated and we are still trying to keep our NOAAPORT system running in that building despite the construction--something that does not always work out too well.
