How NSSL research provides real-time precipitation estimations and flash flood prediction for high-impact events
Flash flooding — the rapid rise of water in a normally dry area — is mostly related to excessive rainfall resulting in significant groundwater runoff and quick rises in waterways. NOAA National Weather Service forecasters rely on accurate quantitative precipitation estimations.
Researchers test experimental severe weather warning tools
Throughout February, researchers are testing technologies to allow warnings to follow storms continuously in NOAA’s Hazardous Weather Testbed.
During busiest month for storms, researchers gather in the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed
A diverse group of scientists is coming together to improve how severe weather information is conveyed to the public.
Forecasters to evaluate sets of advanced weather models that can depict thunderstorms
Experiments designed to improve National Weather Service severe weather forecasts will be conducted in the 2015 Spring Forecasting Experiment from May 4 through June 5, part of the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) Experimental Forecast…
2015 Spring Warning Project will look at new severe weather warning guidance
Several experiments to improve National Weather Service severe weather warnings will be conducted this spring in the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) as part of the annual Experimental Warning Program.
