How does meteorology help the Weather Service?

Career: Meteorologist

Meteorology is used by the National Weather Service (NWS) to predict the weather and weather-related events. A typical work day for a meteorologist at the National Weather Service includes analyzing current conditions, digesting output from numerical model guidance, creating forecasts, and monitoring the threat of hazardous weather. The National Weather Service provides this information to government agencies, news programs, research universities and industries for whom weather could impact their products or services.
