The Storm Prediction Center (SPC)

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is a division of the National Weather Service responsible for forecasting and monitoring severe weather threats across the United States. It provides detailed outlooks and alerts for conditions like tornadoes, large hail, and strong winds, helping communities and emergency responders prepare and stay safe. The SPC analyzes weather data, tracks storm development, and issues risk levels ranging from marginal to high, allowing people to understand the potential for dangerous weather in their area. Its goal is to reduce weather-related injuries and property damage through early warning and accurate forecast information.
