As we continue to expand in the Information Age, your
National Weather Service increases its web presence and adds
a number of "web-only" products to our website.
We also have a number of web-only features, found in the "Other
Web Features" section of this product guide.
| Preliminary Climate Data (LCD) |
NWS
Huntsville Climate Page |
Month-to-date climate
reports are available on the NWS Huntsville climate
page. These products are not disseminated to the
public in any other form. They
are available for Huntsville, Muscle Shoals, and
Decatur, and generally are updated by 4am local
time each morning for the previous day. To
access these summaries, use the climate page link
above, select "Preliminary Climate Data (CF6)",
select the location, time period of interest, then
click "Go".

| Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook |
Tennessee
Valley Graphical HWO |
Your National Weather Service produces
a graphical form of the hazardous weather outlook
that highlights the locations of expected threats
for the first 24 hours. This product is usually
issued around 5am each morning, and is updated
routinely during the rest of the day.

| Collaborative Weather Blog |
NSSTC Collaborative
Weather Blog |
Meteorologists from the National
Weather Service, NASA, and the University of Alabama
at Huntsville have come together to create the
NSSTC (National Space Science and Technology Center)
Collaborative Weather Blog. Professionals will
post information on climate and hydrology, as well
as research interests, local weather news, and
information on the current weather situation.

| Graphical Forecast |
NWS
Huntsville Graphical Forecast Page |
The National Weather Service is instituting
a new way of forecasting called the Interactive
Foreast Preparation System (IFPS). IFPS allows NWS
forecasters to create graphical forecast grids of
weather elements. You can view experimental
versions of our graphical forecast now!
|
| Point Forecasts |
NWS
Huntsville Point Forecast Page |
Much like the graphical forecast,
the Interactive Forecast Preparation System (IFPS)
allows NWS forecasters to produce high-resolution
forecasts at a resolution of 1 mile! Making use
of the point forecasts allows you to get the most
up-to-date forecast for your location rather than
a county-wide area.
|
| Weather Activity Planner |
NWS
Huntsville Weather Activity Planner |
Many activities require certain weather
conditions. The weather activity planner allows
you to specify what weather conditions are required
for your location, and it will highlight the time
periods that meet your criteria.
|
| Precipitation Analyses |
National
Precipitation Analysis | Local |
National Weather Service River Forecast
Centers (RFC's) create a quality-controlled analysis
of observed rainfall for their areas of responsibility.
These analyses are now combined into a nationwide
precipitation analysis graphic with geographic
overlays, and can be placed into Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) software for more detailed data interrogation.
