In order to protect life and property, forecasts of severe convection are critical on short time and space scales (on the order of 1 hour or less and a few 10s of km or less). Accurate assessment of the environment and monitoring of high-resolution observational data, frequently focusing on radar-observed evolution, are essential in this process. In the United States, these short-term time and space scale forecasts are referred to as
warnings
and are prepared by local forecast offices of the National Weather Service, who have responsibility for forecasters on the order of 100,000 km
