Many NWS offices maintain an amateur radio station that is manned by amateur radio operators during times of severe weather.

It contains information about who originated the alert ( the President, state or local authorities, the National Weather Service ( NOAA / NWS ), or the broadcaster ), a short, general description of the event ( tornado, flood, severe thunderstorm ), the areas affected ( up to 32 counties or states ), the expected duration of the event ( in minutes ), the date and time it was issued ( in UTC ), and an identification of the originating station.

The tone is on a NOAA Weather Radio ( NOAA / NWS ) station, while on commercial broadcast stations, it consists of a " two tone " combination of 853 Hz and 960 Hz sine waves and is the same attention signal used by the older Emergency Broadcast System.

Required monthly tests ( RMTs ) are generally originated by the primary relay station, a state emergency management agency, or by the National Weather Service ( NOAA / NWS ) and are then relayed by broadcast and cable stations.

In July 1997 the National Weather Service ( NWS ) based in Taunton, Massachusetts established a cooperative weather station in the Stone Bridge Village section of town.

While the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center provides guidance for future precipitation amounts and areas where excessive rainfall is likely, local NWS offices are responsible for issuing: Flood Watches, Flash Flood Watches, Flood Warnings, Flash Flood Warnings and Flood Advisories for their local County Warning Area, as well as the official rainfall forecast for their county warning areas.

Data collected by the NWS, U. S. Navy, U. S. Air Force, the Federal Aviation Administration, and meteorological services around the world, are housed at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, North Carolina.

Because coded products are very difficult to understand by someone not familiar with the coding, most NWS public products are written using basic meteorological terminology in a sentence format.

* Provide observational meteorological data in near real-time to support forecast, warning and other public service programs of the NWS.

The NWS has received some criticism from commercial weather vendors for providing graphical forecast data free of charge.

The NWS assists officials at large wildfires or other disasters, including HAZMAT incidents, by providing on-site support through Incident Meteorologists ( IMET ).

The legislation would have placed into federal law a definition of the duties of the NWS similar to its stated mission and would have prohibited the NWS from providing products or services for free that the private sector is willing and able to provide ( S. 786 ).

Since 2005, Raytheon has been NWS ’ partner for the operations, maintenance and evolution of AWIPS, providing the integrated mission services required to sustain and enhance system performance.

Supporting national, regional and local land management agencies such as the US Forest Service, the NWS issues a complete Fire Weather Forecast twice daily, with updates as needed.

The National Weather Service ( NWS ) keeps track of climatological data and coordinates cooperative weather observers, comprising a network of more than 10, 000 National Weather Service volunteers across the U. S. who record daily weather measurements that become part of U. S. climate records.

The NWS is charged with issuing weather forecasts, advisories, watches, and warnings on a daily basis.

The mission of the HPC is to provide forecast, guidance, and analysis products and services to support the daily public forecasting activities of the NWS and its customers, and to provide tailored support to other government agencies in emergency and special situations.

The NWS operates NEXRAD, a nationwide network of Doppler weather radars which can detect precipitation and their velocities.

The National Weather Service ( NWS ) uses the GOES system for its United States weather monitoring and forecasting operations, and scientific researchers use the data to better understand land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate interactions.

It consists of a network of severe storm spotters that observe weather conditions and make reports of severe weather to their local NWS offices.

This allows licensed amateur radio spotters to transmit their severe weather reports directly to the NWS and receive up-to-date severe weather updates even if regular communications are disrupted or overloaded by the weather emergency.

Once per day, NWS meteorologists issue a coded fire weather forecast for specific USFS observation sites that are then input into the National Fire Danger Rating System ( NFDRS ).

On the national level, the NWS Storm Prediction Center issues fire weather analyses for days one and two.

IMETs are NWS forecasters specially trained to work with Incident Management Teams during severe wildfire outbreaks or other disasters requiring on-site weather support.

The following tropical weather products are issued by the NWS:

Since 1983, the NWS has provided external user access to U. S. Government obtained or derived weather information through a collection of data communication line services called the Family of Services ( FOS ).

The WSR-88D Doppler weather radar system, also called NEXRAD, was developed by the NWS during the mid 1980s and fully deployed by the end of the 1990s.

This technology, because of its high resolution and ability to detect intra-cloud motions, is now the cornerstone of NWS severe weather warning operations.
