As previously announced by NWS, AWC and others: shortly after 1-27-2025, the traditional alphanumeric code (TAC) airmen’s meteorological information (AIRMET) has been sunset for CONUS.
Replaced (in 2010) by G-AIRMETs.

Along with Flight Service, online aviation weather resources and EFB products have been updated. e.g. skyvector, etc.
[On 1800wxbrief, selecting AIRMET remains an option for use outside CONUS: "Textual AIRMETs not provided for the CONUS"]

SIGMETs and Convective Outlooks remain unchanged.

More Info, thanks to @scottd

Convective outlooks are also on the chopping block for this year. Big mistake in my opinion.
