It summarizes forecasts from several NCEP Service Centers including the Storm Prediction Center (for severe thunderstorm and tornado outlooks), the National Hurricane Center (for tropical storm and hurricane forecasts), and the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (for information concerning heavy rainfall, flooding, winter weather, and general weather). With an overlaid frontal forecast, this display serves as a great overview of the weather for the current day!

U.S. Severe Weather Alerts Map 2011-2012 Winter Outlook Extreme Weather 2011 Day One Severe Outlook Day Two Severe Outlook Day Three Severe Outlook Today's Weather Story Strong high pressure along the West Coast will bring seasonably warm and dry weather to interior Northern California today and Sunday. Look for high temperatures to range between 5 and 10 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. Longer range forecasts have a low pressure system approaching California Tuesday of next week...bringing a chance of rain to the valley and snow to the mountains. The snowfall in January gave the Sierra snowpack a boost, but it is still well below average. The graph above shows the snow water equivalent (SWE) from the current water year through February 1st, the average water year (1971-2000), and the 2010-2011 water year. The SWE for this water year through February 1st is approximately 5 inches, compared to over 20 inches this time last year. The measurements are based on provisional SNOTEL data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service as of February 1st. Snow water equivalent is the approximate amount of liquid water in the snowpack.
