According to the most recent update from the USPTO (@ 5:55pm yesterday), the USPTO expects service to be out at least through tomorrow, 25 December 2015. From our perspective, realistically, we think this means that the systems will be unavailable through the weekend.

In light of this emergency situation, the USPTO will consider each day from Tuesday, December 22, 2015, through Thursday, December 24, 2015, to be a “Federal holiday within the District of Columbia” in accordance with the description and regulations in this official notice posted here: http://www.uspto.gov/blog/ebiz/.
