The National Weather Service (NWS) is increasing its focus on providing Impact-based decision support services, as called for in the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017. To help ensure its analyses and short-term forecasts are meeting forecast service needs, NWS' new Analysis and Nowcast Branch of the Analyze, Forecast and Support Office is convening a Town Hall meeting with the broader weather community to discuss service requirements for the 0-18 hour forecasts. Preliminary input from NWS field forecasters (including NWS WFOs and RFCs, Regional Offices and National Centers) will be reviewed as a basis for broader community input and discussion of basic user and partner requirements.
