Environmental Modeling Center (EMC)

The Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) is a part of the National Weather Service that develops and runs computer models to forecast the weather. These models simulate the atmosphere’s behavior using various data inputs to predict future conditions like temperature, storms, and rainfall. EMC helps improve weather forecasts, supporting safety, agriculture, transportation, and emergency planning. It combines scientific expertise with advanced technology to understand and anticipate atmospheric changes, providing crucial information for decision-making and public awareness.
