US Natural Hazard Weather Warnings

This map features the NOAA/National Weather Service current weather warnings for the USA being served as an ArcGIS Server live map service by the USGS Natural Hazards Support System: http://nhss.cr.usgs.gov . The NHSS Watches/Warnings contains all of the current weather watches and warnings issued by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS). NHSS retrieves these feeds every 10 minutes and uses the information for active weather watches and warnings to update the layer. NHSS uses the same Watch and Warning Map Colors that were developed by the NWS. You can identify the weather warning polygons and in the Identify results you'll see a clickable link in the Web field that takes you to the actual http://www.weather.gov warning report for that warning. I added a note on the map following today's news on the heavy snow and frost in the North East area.
