(Redirected from National Weather Service)
The National Weather Service is the government agency in the U.S. charged with issuing weather forecasts, advisories, watches, and warnings on a daily basis. It is operated by The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Department of Commerce. The Weather Service operates NEXRAD, a nationwide network of doppler radars which can detect precipitation and athmospheric movement.
The newly-created Weather Service (then known as the Weather Bureau) made its first official meteorological forecast on November 1, 1870: "High winds at Chicago and Milwaukee... and along the Lakes".
Volunteers called skywarn spotters relay severe weather to their local weather service office.
