National Weather Service: An Inside Look
The National Weather Service is comprised of 122 Weather Forecast Offices, which work day and night to monitor local weather conditions for every inch of the United States.
This is in addition to 9 additional specialized offices, such as the National Hurricane Center and the Storm Prediction Center, which monitor hurricanes and severe weather, respectively.
"The main mission of the weather service is to protect lives and property and enhance the national economy."
First Alert Meteorologist Spencer Blum traveled to the NWS office in San Diego for an inside look at what they do every day to put together their forecast for Southern California.
