NWS (National Weather Service)

The National Weather Service (NWS) is a government agency that provides weather forecasts, warnings, and information to the public, government agencies, and businesses. Its primary goal is to keep people safe and help them prepare for severe weather conditions such as storms, hurricanes, snow, and heatwaves. The NWS uses advanced technology, weather radar, satellites, and scientific models to monitor and predict the atmosphere. This information is then communicated through alerts, forecasts, and warnings, enabling individuals and communities to make informed decisions and stay safe during various weather events.
