The outlook is part of a suite of weather and climate tools that NOAA provides emergency managers, water managers, state and local officials, and the public to help them prepare and make good decisions to protect life and property.
NOAA’s Spring Weather Safety Campaign (March to June) offers information on hazardous spring weather -- tornadoes, floods, thunderstorm winds, hail, lightning, heat, wildfires, rip currents and tsunamis -- and tips on how to stay safe.
