The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is a US government agency that is part of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), operating under the control of the National Weather Service (NWS), [1] which in turn is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States Department of Commerce (DoC).
A high risk severe weather event is the greatest threat level issued by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) for convective weather events in the United States. On the scale from one to five, a high risk is a level five; thus, high risks are issued only when forecasters at the SPC are confident of a major severe weather outbreak.
Convective mesoscale discussions are issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center based on the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] One type of mesoscale discussion is a meso-gamma mesoscale discussion , which are for tornadoes believed to be at least EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita ...
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch as the threat for intense, life-threatening tornadoes escalates. This urgent alert reflects a sharp increase ...
The large trough seen across the United States on January 9, 2024. On January 2, 2024, meteorologists from the Storm Prediction Center began tracking a large upper-level trough forecast to move across the United States, with multiple embedded shortwave perturbations.
The Weather Prediction Center (WPC), located in College Park, Maryland, is one of nine service centers under the umbrella of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), a part of the National Weather Service (NWS), which in turn is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. Government.
The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Dec. 31 ahead of an incoming solar storm caused by an eruption of solar material (otherwise known as a coronal mass ...
WoF Tornado Threat Prediction (WoF-TTP) is a research project to develop a 0–1 hour, 1-km resolution suite of high detail computer models to forecast individual convective storms and their tornadic potential. Target future average lead-time for tornado warnings via WoF-TTP is 40–60 minutes.
