| Graphical Marine Hazards | The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Graphical Local Marine Hazards provides a graphical representation of potential hazards to boaters for the next 6-12 hours. It highlights areas where winds are expected to exceed 20 kts and seas are expected to exceed 5' in the open waters. | ERGMH.pdf |
| New Experimental Collaborative Surf Product | The National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Honolulu wants to better serve the citizens of Hawaii and visitors to the islands who may not be familiar with ocean conditions. | PRH1.pdf |
| Graphical Area Forecast (GFA) | The Graphical Area Forecast (GFA) product is an experimental graphical representation of the current operational production of aviation area forecasts, which provide an overview of weather conditions which could impact aviation operations. | GraphicalFA1.pdf |
| MULTI-FORMAT FORECAST INFORMATION WEB PAGE | Advances in computer capabilities and web services technologies, as well as scientific advances in National Weather Service (NWS) software, have afforded an opportunity for NWS to create customer-based products and services. | Multi-FormatWebpage.pdf |
| Graphical Hurricane Local Statement | This product compliments the alphanumeric Hurricane Local Statement, by providing a graphical depiction of threat levels fortropical cyclone hazards such as wind, surge, flash flood, tornado and marine seas. | Localstatement.pdf |
| Experimental Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook | The Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook will display graphically on the internet the weather hazards for the WFO County Warning Area (CWA) for 24 hour periods beginning with the current day and continuing through day 7. It is intended to supplement the Hazardous Weather Outlook text product. | EGHWO.pdf |
| Enhanced Winter Weather Guidance Product Suite | The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) proposes to produce probability guidance for three specific snow/sleet accumulation thresholds per forecast day out to Day 3. HPC will also generate separate probability graphics for the exceedance of freezing rain. In addition a single graphic will depict both HPC forecast position of significant surface low pressure centers over the contiguous U.S. and conveyance of uncertainty of the forecast position. This will be depicted in 12 hour increments out to Day 3. | EWWGPS.pdf |
| FLOOD INUNDATION MAP GRAPHIC | The NWS Southeast River Forecast Center produces river stage
forecasts for several hundred locations in the Southeast U.S. These forecasts reference
numeric gage heights at a single site along the river, generally in or near a city. The
experimental Flood Inundation Map Graphics show the lateral extent of projected
flooding on local map backgrounds. Currently, they are only being produced during
flooding events for a section of the Tar River in North Carolina.
Four graphics are available: One for the entire reach of the Tar River for which the flood
inundation mapping is performed, and one each that covers the cities of Rocky Mount,
Tarboro, and Greenville. | SR-7.pdf |
| Experimental Fire Weather Prescription Page | The fire weather prescription web page allows a fire manager to enter prescribed burn weather parameters, and obtain a preliminary forecast for the burn area. If the burn appears to be in prescription, a spot forecast can be requested from the Tucson WFO | twcfwx.pdf |
| Experimental Interactive Weather Planner | The interactive weather planner web page allows a customer to enter threshold values for user-specified weather parameters, and obtain a preliminary forecast for their defined area of interest. The output is derived directly from the NWS digital forecast data base. The resulting graph represents average conditions in a 5 km grid box nearest the user-selected latitude/longitude point. | VEFPDD_WxRx.pdf |
| Precipitation Frequency Data Server | NWS precipitation frequency estimates have traditionally been delivered in the form of Weather Bureau Technical Papers and Memoranda as well as NOAA Atlases, all hard copy documents. With the advent of the World Wide Web, these documents have been scanned and made available via web pages. The National Weather Service specifically developed the Precipitation Frequency Data Server as the primary web portal to precipitation frequency estimates and associated information (Parzybok and Yekta, 2003). Recent updates to NWS precipitation frequency are being delivered entirely in digital rather than hard copy form in order to make the estimates more widely available to the public and to provide the data in a broader and more accessible range of formats. | PFDS_PDD.pdf |
| Experimental IFPS Digital Forecast Page | The experimental IFPS Digital Forecast Page provides an interface for the public to access weather information from the NWS gridded forecast (IFPS) database. The gridded forecast is maintained 24/7 by all 24 Western Region Forecast Offices as part of the national NWS IFPS program. | WRIFPS_pdd.pdf |
| Experimental Fire Weather Watch/Warning Display | The experimental Fire Weather "Red Flag" Watch/Warning Display provides an HTML visual display of all fire weather "Red Flag" watch/warnings that are currently in effect across the western U.S. | FWWWD.pdf |
| Graphical Forecast Table | The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Graphical Forecast
Table provides a graphical representation of digital/tabular forecasts of maximum
temperature, minimum temperature, probability of precipitation, 3- hourly temperatures,
dewpoint temperatures, relative humidity, sky condition, wind direction and speed,
obstruction to visibility, and precipitation type. | ERGFT.pdf |
| National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) | The National Weather Service’s National Digital Forecast
Database (NDFD) Experimental Graphic Forecast Displays
(http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/phi/gfe/gridded.html ) are web-based presentations of a
prescribed set of digital forecast data originating from local Weather Forecast Office
(WFO) digital databases. The data are displayed in a WFO Mount Holly’s AFI (Areal
Forecast Interface) software package. The AFI software display functions make the
standardization of web graphics possible for a WFO’s geographic area of responsibility.
For more information on the NDFD, please refer to the NDFD Information web site at the
following URL: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ndfd/index.htm.
The WFO digital forecast data are uploaded to a regional web server. These graphic
images display various forecasted weather parameters from the time of issuance out to
time projections ranging from 48 to 168 hours, depending upon the element. Initially, the
available elements (and their temporal and spatial resolution) will be limited, but
additional data fields having greater temporal and spatial resolution will be added as the
NDFD matures. | ERNDFD.pdf |
