FLORIDA PANHANDLE
SEVERE WEATHER RESOURCES
During any severe weather event, the comment sections of meteorologists, stormchasers, and various popular forecasters are filled with concerned people repeatedly asking about weather hazards for THEIR city. Often they go unanswered as the page owner cannot answer every individual forecast request. I created this website to help get people the information they seek while they follow along with their favorite weather personalities during times of inclement conditions. Remain weather aware and safe out there and please do share this page to help others find the information they seek!

 DAILY TALLAHASSEE NWS FORECASTS Written by our National Weather Service out of Tallahassee! A bit technical but very detailed explanation of the forecast! |  NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER PRO-TIP: When a named storm or "potential cyclone" has been established scroll down to that storm on this page and click "FORECAST DISCUSSION." Those are the typed out forecast from the hurricane experts! When scary posts float online...check in here to help sort out what is expected and what uncertainty may be around or not! |
|---|---|
 STORM PREDICTION CENTER This is the team that issues the Severe Weather Outlooks..severe winds..tornado risk threats...marginal risk, slight risk, enhanced risk, and so on! |  NWS Current Radar Interactive Radar: you can change the products on it just like the TV mets do; from reflectivity (rain) to velocity (wind speed and direction) even. Velocity is the red and green colors mets use to find rotation..takes a lot of training to do well be careful! |
 SPC Risk Explained This is a page that contains the Storm Prediction Center's risk categories explained. Useful during fall and winter when cold fronts bring severe weather in and you hear we are under a "marginal" or "slight" risk. |  NOAA Hurricane Prep Everything hurricane preparedness! This is a great resource to brush up your plans by and share with new residents to the area! |
 TROPICAL TIDBITS Everything from current storm information, aircraft recon data, to weather models! A lot of the scary screenshots of dozens of dozens of landfall outcomes that never realize come from this page. |  COD WEATHER MODELS Remember without training, playing around with these could scare you. Great tool as you become more weather savvy otherwise! |
 GOES IMAGE VIEWER Live images of the current weather via our GEOS satellites! The green flashes are lightning density in the clouds if there is any around. You can click around the site to see more places...like the tropical Atlantic! |
