Our homepage has been redesigned with some new features added. Near the top right portion of the page, click the Graphicasts link to access this new feature. Our Graphicasts web page will contain graphical depictions of short-term and long-term weather outlooks. These will generally focus on the primary weather impacts that can be expected over the two periods. Below the images, you will find links to other weather outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, and River Forecast Center, as well as other information. Below that is our point-n-click forecast map that shows all watches, warnings and advisories currently in effect, and finally at the bottom of the page will be our latest Hazardous Weather Outlook text product. Below the Graphicasts link, a multimedia weather briefing will be available on an event-driven basis. Finally, a row of icons have been added below our homepage's point-n-click map. These will get you quickly to some of our most used web pages. Note, you can find links to our radar and satellite pages in this area which were formerly available where the Grpahicasts link now resides. We hope you enjoy these improvements and would appreciate your feedback. Just e-mail our webmaster with your comments.

NWS Tallahassee is proud to introduce the new Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook. This product is experimental and modeled after the one developed at NWS Tampa Bay. It is intended to compliment the traditional text version of the Hazardous Weather Outlook. Icons along the top of the page indicate the maximum impact expected from each hazard for the current day and upcoming night. You can go to individual hazard pages by clicking on the icons. The individual hazard pages will show how the impact of each hazard varies georgraphically across the forecast area. You will also find a legend that describes the various impact levels. Clicking on the impact levels within the legend launches a pop-up window with additional details on the impact. Note that this product is currently experimental. Additional information on this product can be found in this presentation. Note this is a large file and requires patience (and a high speed connection) to load all of the content.

Over the years, NWS Tallahassee has often created event web pages following significant weather events in our forecast areas of responsibility, such as this spring's tornado outbreaks. Now all of these web pages have been consolidated into our new Significant Weather Event web page. Most of the events descibe severe weather episodes. However, a page about Tropical Storm Alberto has also been included. Web pages about the other tropical systems that have impacted the area over the last few years will be added soon. We hope you find this new page informative and interesting.

We recently revamped our climate homepage to incorporate the standard page layout now used at NWS offices nationwide. Look through the pages and let us know what you think.

We recently enhanced our Point Forecast pages (see example for Leon County) to include a zoomed in detailed map of your county of interest. This point-and-click map makes it easier fore you to generate a point forecast page for your local town or village. The map appears directly above the Current Conditions section on each page. Another new feature can be found at the lower left corner of each page. In this area, you can access the National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) zoomed in on your area of interest. The NDFD provides interactive graphical forecasts of many weather parameters.

NWS now produces experimental Air Quality Forecast Guidance for the entire eastern U.S. This information consists of forecasts of 1-hour and 8-hour ozone concentration (in parts per billion or ppb) averages, and is updated twice daily. Public comments and suggestions are encouraged. A FAQ page is also available.

Check out our new Radar Integrated Display with Geospatial Elements (RIDGE) imagery. These experimental pages allow you to view Doppler Base Velocity and Storm Relative Motion, along with the reflectivity and precipitation products that have been available from the NWS for years. The imagery is interactive with many map overlays available, including warning polygons. The interactive maps require java to be enabled on your browser. A full Product Description Document is also available. Please provide us with your comments and suggestions, so that we may determine if any modifications are necessary.

We have upgraded our climate pages that provide access to preliminary local climatological data (WS Form F6) monthly summaries. Data for all available years is now accessible via convenient pull-down menus at /tae/climate/f6.html. Data for the current month are available via links directly above the pull-down menus. This replaces the old tabular pages and provides quicker navigation to the data you need.

We have upgraded our text product pages to allow access to the most recent version, and up to seven previous versions of the product. In addition, many of the acronyms, abbreviations, and technical terms found in our area forecast discussions are now hyperlinks. Just click on the word in question and a new window will pop up with a definition. Our discussion can now be found at the following URL, http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/productviewnation.php?pil=TAEAFDTAE&version=0. Similarly, our Climate Reports (current and previous versions) can now be accessed via http://www.srh.noaa.gov/productview.php?pil=TAECLITLH&version=0. All other text products can be found using similar syntax. You may update your favorites and bookmarks if you like. However, all text products can still be accessed via the old links as well, which are detailed in the section below.

The naming convention used for many of the text products issued by this office has changed. If you access one of our text products via a link from one of our web pages, then you will find that the links have been updated for you. However, if you use bookmarks or favorite lists to access our text products, then you will need to update the links following the new convention. If you are having trouble finding one of our products, try changing the last three letters in the address from TLH to TAE. For example, our Fire Weather Forecast used to be found at /data/TAE/FWFTLH. It is now located at this URL, http://www.srh.noaa.gov/TAE/FWFTAE. Similarly, the Severe Thunderstorm Warning is no longer stored at /data/TAE/SVRTLH, but can be found at /data/TAE/SVRTAE, at least once the next SVRTAE is issued by the office. Other products can be found using the same convention, or by using the links on our web pages.

Check out our newest experimental product, the Weather Activity Planner. The Weather Activity Planner is an internet-based query tool that allows you to plan your next weather-sensitive activity by accessing the National Weather Service's high resolution National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) from your local Weather Forecast Office here in Tallahassee, and then search for the range of weather parameters applicable to your planned activity. The Weather Activity Planner provides forecast weather parameters at the grid point nearest to your area of interest. All you need to do is input the range of weather parameters that are important to your activity, and then either click on the location of interest on the map provided, or enter the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location of interest. The web site software will then search the NDFD and return a graphical table depicting when the requested weather parameters will be met during the next seven days.

So, if you want to know how likely it is that your baseball game will be rained out, when the sea breeze will kick in at the beach, when to bring your sensitive plants inside during the winter, or even if your just a star gazer that is looking for clear skies, try out our new Weather Activity Planner and let us know what you think.

We recently enhanced our Surf Zone Forecast product to include the forecast UV Index, local tide information and surf temperatures, in addition to the rip current information we have been providing. We hope you find this extra information useful.

Our homepage has been redesigned to allow for quicker page loading. In addition, the navigation links along the left side of the page have been shortened to provide easier access to our most popular pages. However, if you preferred the previous layout of our page, originally introduced in February 2002, it is still being maintained and is available at /tae/. The changes to the homepage layout were implemented to come into compliance with the "new corporate web image" that NWS headquarters has designed for all NWS homepages. We would like to hear your comments on the new layout. E-mail them to the webmaster or fill out our Web Site Customer Satisfaction Survey. Survey results to date are available here.
