The National Hurricane Center’s annual verification report asks how well forecasts performed, and what does that say about the season’s predictability?
The forecast cone is designed to help the public stay alert to wind hazards from tropical storms and hurricanes, including impacts that can extend well inland.
This week, Georgia is observing Severe Weather Preparedness Week—and there’s no better time to make sure you and your family know how to stay safe when tornadoes threaten.
