NWWS products originate from all 143 NWS offices, including 122 Weather Forecast offices (WFO), 13 WFO/River Forecast Centers ((WFO/RFC), representing 26 NWS offices in 13 co-located facilities), and 8 NWS National Centers, utilizing the Advanced Weather Information Processing System (AWIPS).

Products are collected and uplinked to the SES-1 satellite at all 13 WFO/RFCs, 5 National Centers, and 1 WFO (see table below).  The satellite sends the products to Master Ground Station # 1 in Woodbine, MD, where they are delivered to the CSC Message Processing Center (MPC) in Chantilly, VA.   Products are then broadcast to users through the SES-1 satellite from Master Ground Station #1 in Woodbine, MD.  Most products are received twice at the MPC from two different satellite uplink sites (paired AWIPS hubs), as a back-up to ensure receipt if one site goes down (duplicate products are removed from the NWWS data stream at MPC before broadcast).  NWWS also receives back-up support from the AWIPS Network Control Facility (NCF) in Silver Spring, MD., for weather warnings.
