The National Weather Service (NWS) remains committed to providing our constituents with warnings and forecasts of the highest quality. To do so, we believe it is important for our customers and partners to know the opportunities and challenges ahead for the NWS, for us to seek input in discovering common opportunities, and identify ways to make our operations and services more efficient and effective. Issues identified and discussed with our constituents will help us determine how to best use our resources for meeting future priorities.
