The NWS Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook (GHWO) - A First Stop Shop for Weather Awareness

The National Weather Service (NWS) Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook (GHWO) is a valuable situational awareness tool that provides users a first glance of weather and water risks in their area in the coming week. It has been run experimentally for nearly a decade and is now on a path to becoming operational. The GHWO has evolved over the years to address new capabilities and internal and external feedback. Changes have included the addition of new hazards, adjustments in color scheme, a filtering tool, a zip code search function, and more. This presentation will offer a comprehensive update on the product and a look at future efforts. It will also allow an opportunity to open feedback and discussion to a wider community during an interactive Q&A.
