National Weather Hazards Map
A quick way to determine what weather hazards are occuring or may potentially occur, in any given area, is to go the Southern Region's National Weather Hazards page. This link is located in the left hand side menu.
One click takes you to a color-keyed page showing the nation's weather hazards with the key to watches, warnings and advisories shown by the colors displayed on the map below.
Clicking on this map (see inset at right) will also take you to the local NWS Weather Forecast Office site and display a detailed version of the weather hazards for that particular area.
In this example, selecting north central Texas will take you to the NWS Forecast Office at Fort worth website. On the website's front page is a detailed color-keyed weather hazards map (sample below). Clicking on that map will provide the Forecast-at-a-Glance page for the county selected.
Clicking any of the links in the color key area will generate a page with all text products in the country that area experiencing that watch, warning or advisory.
