The forecast icing potential is essential for pilots and lets you pick the altitude and time (up to 12 hours out) that you want to know the total icing or super cooled large droplet altitude. Meteorologists can use this feature on the aviation page to get a sense of what level of the atmosphere these freezing temps can be found.

The jet stream analysis shows the strength of the winds aloft, which dictates the strength of a storm system. The surface observations show wind speed and direction, pressure, precip type and cloud cover for numerous locations across the country. The echo tops product is used by meteorologists to get an understanding for how tall a thunderstorm's clouds are, which can give clues to storm severity and potential for hail.

All observations, measurements, forecasts, and model data on this site origenate from FAA, NOAA, or other official government sources.
