As part of its mission of providing national severe and hazardous weather forecast guidance, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is responsible for predicting severe local storm events associated with tropical cyclones before, during and after landfall. These events typically include tornadoes and localized heavy convective rains. The philosophy, content and procedures are discussed for each type of SPC forecast, as applied to tropical cyclones. This includes the critical role of SPC coordination with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) section of the Tropical Prediction Center, and with the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC).
