SPC (Storm Prediction Center)

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is a branch of the National Weather Service that monitors and forecasts severe weather in the United States. It analyzes weather data to identify regions at risk for storms such as tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and large hail. The SPC issues outlooks, watches, and warnings to inform the public and emergency responders, helping them prepare and stay safe. Its goal is to provide early, accurate alerts to minimize damage and protect lives during dangerous weather events.
