NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly County Warning Area |

The National Weather Service Mount Holly county warning area (CWA) encompasses eastern and southeastern Pennsylvania (including the Philadelphia metropolitan area), all but far northeast New Jersey, Delaware, and northeastern Maryland. The Philadelphia/Mount Holly CWA covers the second largest population by NWS forecast office in the country. Office responsibilities include watch/warning operations; public, aviation, and marine forecasts; climatological record-keeping, and decision support services for our local, state, and federal core partners. The image below specifies the counties/zones in our CWA. |

NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly Office Tours | |
---|---|
One day each month, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Mount Holly, NJ, will conduct public tours for small groups and/or individuals. The chosen date each month will be based on the availability of staff members to conduct such tours and on favorable weather conditions. On the advertised date, a morning and afternoon tour will be conducted based upon interest. Please be advised that if you request a tour for a very small group, you may be assigned with another group in the same time slot. In case of inclement weather that requires the full attention of the staff, the tour will be cancelled with very short notice. All tours are conducted by a meteorologist who will go through the basics of how the National Weather Service operates and how forecasts are compiled and disseminated to the public. Participants will then be able to tour the operations area where current forecasting is taking place. Photography is permitted. Once a tour slot has been assigned to a small group or individual, an email will be sent from the NWS providing details with directions, parking, and entry into the building. Tours are typically 60 minutes in length. Free parking is available around the building, though spots are limited. Due to the size of the parking lot, we do not have sufficient room for bus parking, unfortunately. Office Tour Policies
