The Forecast for the Future?
What will America look like in 2025? How will climate change affect us? What should we be doing today in the National Weather Service to prepare? How will forecasting for weather, water, and climate events evolve? These are all the questions we are grappling with as an agency and a Nation. Today, we begin a public dialogue to learn more about the challenges facing our Customers and Partners. We’ll use this information

Message from Jack Hayes, NWS Director
Using input you provided, the NWS Strategic Plan Core Team has completed a first draft of the new NWS strategic plan. Since our efforts began earlier this year, NOAA's strategic planning effort has kicked into high gear.
To ensure our NWS goals and objectives align with NOAA's priorities, I have decided to move the publication date of the NWS plan until after the NOAA publication date of March 2010. In the meantime, the strategic planning core team is continuing to incorporate comments, revise, and edit the work already done.

The sector numbers do not add up to 100 because some of the 63 constituent respondents provided multiple answers to the question of which sector they represent.
