Introduction
Timely and accurate forecasts of tropical cyclones, including tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes (hereinafter TCs or storms), can provide life-and property-saving warnings to parts of the U.S. coastline vulnerable to a storm’s impacts. The National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center (NHC), part of the National Weather Service (NWS) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is responsible for forecasting TCs in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and the Central and Eastern Pacific Ocean. (Other entities are responsible for these storms in other parts of the world.)

A tropical cyclone forecast uses a broad array of resources and capabilities within NOAA, which must be coordinated and interpreted by NHC. NHC estimates a tropical cyclone’s track (i.e., the storm’s path) and intensity (i.e., its wind speed), as well as the size and structure of the storm. NHC works with other parts of NOAA, such as the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), National Ocean Service (NOS), and Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, on these estimates and on predictions of associated storm surge, rainfall, and tornadoes.

This In Focus describes NHC TC-related activities, from storm formation through forecasts and warnings. It also sets out ongoing TC forecasting challenges that Congress may consider via oversight or legislative actions.

Storm Observations
The forecasting process begins with observations: satellites, aircraft, ships, buoys, radar, and other sources provide data used to create storm-track and intensity predictions. NOAA weather satellites primarily provide the remote-sensing observations during the early stages of storm development. Several satellites, including NESDIS’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites and Joint Polar Satellite System, provide data as TCs form and intensify during their journey across ocean regions.

If a storm is judged to pose a threat to U.S. interests, NOAA and U.S. Air Force aircraft (often referred to as Hurricane Hunters) may fly into the storm to collect real-time data. Moored and drifting buoys may collect additional meteorological and oceanographic information. If the storm gets close enough to the coast, land-based radars provide NHC with precipitation and wind-speed data. Additional measurements are provided by NWS’s ground-based Automated Surface Observation Systems and NOS’s National Water Level Observing Network instruments when the storm is close to shore or makes landfall.

Analyzing the Data
NHC gathers all the observational data to generate numerical weather prediction models. The models use the data to determine the state of the atmosphere and the ocean and then use mathematical equations to produce TC track and intensity forecasts. Not all numerical weather prediction models are the same; they may differ in how they process information, such as when observations are fed into the model, which equations are used, how the solutions to the equations are used to make forecasts, and other factors. These differences explain why NHC forecasts may differ from those of other countries or institutions that also produce forecasts (e.g., the European Center for Medium- Range Forecasts produces Atlantic TC forecasts).

Forecasts, Watches, and Warnings
Using model outputs and their understanding of the meteorological and oceanographic data, NHC forecasters produce tropical weather text and graphical products for emergency managers and the public. These include outlooks covering the next 120 hours (5 days), watches and warnings, discussions, and updates. These products note storm location, motion, pressure, and wind speeds; contain information about hazards to land (i.e., storm surge, surf, wind, rainfall, tornadoes, and inland hazards); and indicate the next expected advisory. NHC updates the products on a set schedule throughout the storm’s lifetime, and more frequently as appropriate.

NHC forecasts, watches, and warnings are coordinated with local NWS Weather Forecast Offices that may be affected by the storm. These offices use the information for their own forecasts, which consider local conditions.

Storm Surge. Forecasts also provide information about potential storm surge in coastal areas. Storm surge is defined as an abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a TC or other intense storm, above the predicted astronomical tide (Figure 1). Storm surge is primarily caused by storm winds pushing waters toward the shore. The amount of surge is determined by the storm’s intensity; size; the storm’s forward speed and angle of approach to the coast; the shape of the coastline; the slope of the ocean bottom; and the incidence of local features, such as bays and rivers. NHC issues storm surge watches or warnings along the U.S. Atlantic and Caribbean coasts.

Rainfall. The Weather Prediction Center provides rainfall forecasts to NHC when TC wind warnings are in effect and as appropriate. These forecasts note geographic areas at greatest risk, including inland areas, and expected area- average amounts. Storm surge, especially when combined with large amounts of rainfall from a TC, can create dangerous flood conditions for coastal communities.

Working with Other Stakeholders
NWS participates in the Hurricane Liaison Team, led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The term coordinates federal, state, and local emergency managers; FEMA personnel; and NHC and Weather Prediction Center forecasters and hydrologists. FEMA typically activates the team for the duration of the hurricane season, which runs May 15 or June 1, depending on the ocean region, through November 30.

In addition to working with local, state, and federal stakeholders, NWS provides briefings on storms to the public and cooperates with meteorological services in other countries (e.g., Mexico and other Central American and Caribbean countries). Neither the Hurricane Liaison Team nor NWS issues evacuations; those decisions are left to state or local officials.

Challenges
NOAA has identified several ongoing challenges in forecasting TC intensity and storm-associated rainfall and in sharing that information with the public, among other forecasting concerns. Congress addressed these topics in a broad weather forecasting law, the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-25). Congress may consider conducting further oversight on NOAA’s implementation of the act or directing NOAA to address these issues in additional ways.

Intensity. While storm track forecasts have improved steadily since the 1960s, improvements to intensity forecasts have not kept pace. Additionally, understanding how and why a storm may experience rapid intensification, where its wind speed increases at least 35 mph in 24 hours (e.g., Hurricanes Dorian in 2019 and Laura in 2020), remains a challenge. Storms that undergo rapid intensification close to shore may be especially dangerous and destructive if forecasts do not predict the possibility of increased storm intensity in time for coastal residents to prepare. According to NOAA, forecast models currently are limited by computing capability, which cannot accurately simulate the inner core of a TC, a key part of a storm’s intensity. NOAA continues to work with other stakeholders, such as the Naval Research Laboratory, to improve wind models.

Rainfall. Forecasting storm precipitation continues to be a challenge. According to NOAA, flooding resulting from extreme precipitation during TCs is responsible for a significant portion of fatalities caused by a storm. The amount of rainfall produced by a storm, however, may not necessarily be related to the intensity of the storm. Rainfall location and amounts appear to be more closely tied to a storm’s track and the underlying geographic terrain than to storm intensity. Improving track forecasts, and using models at varying time and space scales, may help mitigate flood impacts, according to NOAA.

Communication
Storm-related fatalities continue to occur in the United States even as storm forecasts improve, in part, because of how forecasts, watches, and warnings are communicated to the public. For example, a storm’s Saffir-Simpson scale rating (e.g., Category 1) does not reflect the full suite of potential hazards, such as expected storm surge or precipitation-caused flooding. Incorporating social and behavioral science research may improve how storm risks are communicated and acted upon, according to NOAA.

Robert Glennon Opines: 'If You Live in New York City, Why Should You Care What Happens to the Colorado River?'

Guest post from Robert Glennon, Regents Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona College of Law and author of Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What To Do About It and his first book Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping and the Fate of America's Fresh Waters. He is also a co-author if the Brookings report Shopping for Water:  How the Market Can Mitigate Water Shortages in the American West.

I first met Robert at an NGWA meeting in Orlando in the early 2000s where he keynoted. Imagine speaking about his popular (not technical) book before a bunch of groundwater scientists and engineers at their annual conference! What hubris! He had us nodding (not shaking) our heads and wondering 'Why didn't I (or one of us) write that book?' Smart guy! 

In any case, he is a wonderful raconteur so if you have a chance to hear him speak do so, regardless of the topic. 

Enough already; let me turn it over to Professor Glennon.

The Colorado River is facing a crisis caused by the seven basin states diverting more water from the river than Mother Nature reliably provides, a nasty 23-year drought that shows no signs of ending, and climate change.

The water levels in the river’s two giant reservoirs, Lakes Mead and Powell, have dropped hundreds of feet, leaving a tell-tale bathtub ring of salts on the walls of the canyons. Water officials are fretting that one or both may soon drop below the level where the dams can generate hydroelectric power. There is even talk, by knowledgeable experts, that the reservoirs may drop below “dead pool,” an ominous level when no water passes through the dams.

       You may already know this. But, if you don’t live in the Colorado River Basin, why should you care? After all, you may think, it has nothing to do with me. That’s not true.

     Do you enjoy eating salads? I thought so. A recent survey found that most Americans eat salad four times a week. From late-November through March each year, more than 90 percent of the leafy greens in the country comes from the Yuma, Arizona region. Every leaf of head, butter, green and red lettuce, spring mix, arugula, spinach, celery, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower is grown with Colorado River water.

       A small percentage of lettuce is not processed; the consumer washes it at home. The key to being able to supply the entire country with winter salads is that the farming community in Yuma has developed a remarkable system for harvesting, washing, drying, chilling, packing, shipping, and delivering the nation’s lettuce.

John Boelts and his field of romaine lettuce. Below: massive Heinzen HMI 300 salad spinner (300 pound capacity).

Every day during the four-month season, approximately 1,000, 18-wheel, refrigerated trucks depart Yuma, each loaded with 40- to 50,000 pounds of lettuce. Every day!

Processed lettuce comes in the bags and boxes so common at grocery stores and furnishes vacuum-sealed bags for the food service industry, from restaurants to schools to prisons. The vacuum packaging is not, as you may think, plastic bags, because the lettuce would start to turn brown within days. Instead, the industry has developed oxygen transmission rate film that allows a precise amount of oxygen to enter the bag and keep the chilled lettuce alive for 14 to 16-days. When a consumer buys a bag at the local Safeway or a restaurant opens a carton of bags, it’s as fresh as when it departed Yuma.

We should all care about climate change and environmental crises. The Colorado River crisis hits home in a very tangible way. It may require most Americans to change their diets.

NOTE: The cuts in current allocations were just announced. Nevada (-8%); Arizona (-21%); Mexico (-7%). The other states - CA, NM, UT, CO, and WY - were spared.

Enjoy!
