Track weather events with National Weather Service radar

Large storm systems, both land-based and offshore, can wreak havoc on personal and business property. Follow the storms and track whether they're strengthening or weakening, or simply check for precipitation when planning outdoor activities using the National Weather Service Doppler radar and forecast for your location.

I recommend: View NWS radar and forecast by region. Just enter your location in the appropiate field to locate the NWS local office. Track hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and storms in Tornado Alley using the National Weather Service, Dallas/Ft.Worth South Plains radar. The National Weather Service Portland office tracks storms, ocean currents and anomalies in the Northeast. California Doppler images are available from the National Weather Service Hanford radar and images from the Florida coast are included in the NWS Southeast Sector Doppler.

Use the National Weather Service's education tools to prepare yourself and your community

Educate yourself and those around you using the National Weather Service's comprehensive training tools, and be prepared for any weather emergency. NOAA offers support and training resources specifically geared toward emergency planners, and the site features links to various agricultural and government agency websites.

I recommend: Contact your local NWS representative and fill out the StormReady Community application, or listen to audio streaming  NWS audio public service announcements for training and broadcast.

Get the latest weather news and alerts using NOAA National Weather Service alerts

Whatever type of mobile communication you prefer, NOAA has you covered. Sign up for county or state-specific weather forecasts and emergency alerts via most media.

I recommend: Subscribe to NWS RSS feeds and podcasts, or purchase the Sima Products NOAA Emergency Alert Radio and program it to receive NOAA Weather Radio coverage. Access weather forecasts and reports from your mobile phone using the NWS Anywhere/Anytime Weather Forecasts, or browse a variety of alert options and resources using the Emergency Managers' Weather Information Network (EMWIN).
