Predicting hurricane rapid intensification further in advance


Jul 30, 2026



Scientists develop method to predict the rapid intensification of hurricanes up to five days in advance.














Building Resilience on the Gulf Coast


Jul 6, 2026



Partnering to help Gulf Coast communities prepare for severe weather.














Severe weather preparedness project LAUNCHes at Louisiana State University


Jun 30, 2026



Over the last year, researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and Louisiana State University (LSU) partnered on a project to enhance disaster preparedness, mitigation, and resilience to weather hazards in the Gulf Coast – an area that is vulnerable to multiple types of severe weather including hurricanes, flooding, and extreme heat. 














Hyperlocal wind forecasts are on the horizon


Jun 10, 2026



Wind is the driving force behind many damaging weather phenomena. It can fan the flames of wildfires, topple trees onto powerlines, and cause dangerous conditions for aircraft during takeoffs and landings. NSF NCAR researchers are working on a major new project to predict these small-scale wind events that have major impacts on society.














Fields of thunder


May 27, 2026



Scientists have determined how the fertile fields and shallow groundwater of the U.S. Corn Belt fuel powerful thunderstorms.












Introducing FastEddy® 5.0


May 20, 2026



The latest software’s speed and efficiency allow for broader application of large-eddy simulations.














New aviation weather system improves US air travel efficiency and safety


Apr 8, 2026



Covering the contiguous United States, the new Domestic Aviation Forecast System (DAFS) generates more detailed forecasts of evolving icing and turbulence risks, giving pilots real-time intelligence about changing weather conditions along their flight path. NSF NCAR researchers led the scientific development of the icing and turbulence capabilities for this system.












WRF-Hydro Application for National Water Availability Assessment (NWAA)


Apr 7, 2026



The WRF-Hydro® team, in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has completed a comprehensive retrospective analysis of water availability across the contiguous United States.
