ResponsibilitiesThe Charleston, South Carolina office of the National Weather Service has weather forecast and severe weather warning responsibility for 8 counties in southeast South Carolina, 12 counties in northern portions of southeast Georgia and a portion of the Atlantic coastal waters from the Santee River in South Carolina to the Altamaha River in Georgia. We routinely issue a variety of observational/forecast products, including specialized products for the aviation, marine, fire, hydrology and climate communities. When severe weather threatens the area, we also issue watches, warnings and advisories to help protect lives and property. We also routinely release weather balloons twice per day to assist with the national upper-air program. Lastly, we work closely with other federal, state and local officials as well as the media to educate them on weather hazards/risks and assist them with their critical weather-sensitive decisions.
