Fresh Snow and Temperature Outlook Ahead of Christmas Day

If you are looking for fresh snow by Christmas morning or are curious about potential travel disruptions, the best chances for at least 1" of new snowfall early this week exist across the mountainous West, Great Lakes, and Northeast. Otherwise, temperatures this last full week of December will average above normal for much of the lower 48 states. Read More >

POST STORM DAMAGE SURVEYS & SUMMARIES Local NWS offices have the responsibility of surveying sites which experience significant weather related damage. The survey team is usually lead by the Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) and often includes one or more staff meteorologists. The team determines the type of damage (i.e. straight-line wind, microburst, tornado) based on the pattern of debris, and the most likely peak wind speed associated with the storm. In the case of a tornado, the touchdown location is identified, as well as the length and width of track, and the strength based on the Fujita scale (F0 -weakest to F5 - strongest). Beginning in February of 2007, a new "Enhanced Fujita Scale" came into usage. Below are some pictures from recent surveys. If you witness storm damage, either as it is occurring or afterwards, we are interested in your report. Please contact us via telephone (321-255-0212), US Mail (421 Croton Road Melbourne, FL 32935), or by email.
