This is a great story about how NSSL is partnering with the NWS to use Warn-on-Forecast to improve lead time for actionable tornado information. NSSL WoFS research would be seriously curtailed or ended under the OMB proposed NOAA budget.

“My weather app does it better!”

-Weather Watches/Warnings? NWS
-Forecast data? NWS
-Observations? NWS
-Satellite? NOAA/NESDIS
-Futurecast modeling data? You guessed it, NWS (via EMC).
-Climatology data? The weather data compiled over a long period by techs.
-Outlooks? NWS

Food for thought. 💭
