The Anchorage Center Weather Service Unit (ZAN CWSU) is located in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) in Anchorage, Alaska. The CWSU is staffed by four National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists. Our hours of operation are from 5:30am-9pm daily.
Anchorage Center is one of 21 ARTCCs in the United States and encompasses 2.4 square million miles starting at the north pole and bordering Russian, Japanese, Canadian, and Oakland Flight Information Regions (FIR).
The Anchorage CWSU supports Air Traffic Managers at the Anchorage Center through verbal briefings and written warnings.
