What We Do Produce Weather, Water and Climate Forecasts and Warnings For All Americans To Protect Life and Property To Enhance the National Economy Data and Products: Government Agencies Private Sector The Public Global Communities Weather and data are becoming more important to economy and business decisions “The annual cost of electricity could decrease by at least $1 billion if the accuracy of weather forecasts improved 1 degree Fahrenheit.” -USA Today, 6/19/01

What We Do  The NWS is the only OFFICIAL voice for issuing warnings during life-threatening weather situations!  Provide support to other government agencies with specialized products such as aviation and fire weather forecasts.  Support local officials during emergencies and hazardous situations.  Provide forecasts and data to the public and private companies  River and flood forecasts and services  Largest weather data collection network in the world  NOAA Weather Radio  Skywarn Spotter Program  Cooperative Observation Program  Outreach projects

Skywarn Spotters  Nearly 250,000 trained spotters nationwide (stationary and mobile)  “Ground Truth” Identify and Describe Local Storms  Information supplements Radar and Satellite Data

Storm Chasing  Why chase storms? (cost, training, etc.)  Can it be a profession?  Duty as a chaser
