[californiadisasters] NWS Weather and Hazards Data Viewer

NWS Weather and Hazards Data Viewer

Recently the National Weather Service (NWS) Weather and Hazards Data Viewer was developed. This viewer provides user access to weather forecasts and hazards planning data in an Internet mapping tool for the purpose of monitoring storms and their associated hazards. A unique feature of this viewer is providing the ability for users to visualize potential impacts of storms. The forecast weather information is pro-vided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA) National Weather Service National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD).

The viewer provides the visual extents, as well as the text, of advisory and warning products that have been issued, forecast images of temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity, precipitation and significant ocean wave heights, radar images with looping capability, satellite im-ages, and weather station observations.
