National Hurricane Center

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. Its primary role is to monitor, forecast, and provide warnings about tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific regions. The NHC uses satellite imagery, radar data, and weather models to track storms, predict their paths, and assess potential impacts. By issuing timely alerts and information, the NHC helps communities prepare for severe weather, ultimately aiming to save lives and minimize damage during hurricane events.
