Warn-on-forecast strategic plan

(a) In general Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary shall prepare and submit to Congress a strategic plan for developing and prioritizing the implementation of high-resolution probabilistic forecast guidance for hazardous weather and water events using a next-generation weather forecast and warning framework. (b) Plan elements The strategic plan required by subsection (a) shall include the following: (1) A discussion of— (A) the priorities and needs of vulnerable populations and National Weather Service partners; and (B) high-performance computing, visualization, and dissemination needs. (2) A timeline and guidance for implementation of— (A) high-resolution numerical weather prediction models; (B) methods for meeting the high-performance computing, visualization, and dissemination needs discussed under paragraph (1)(B); (C) real-time high-resolution probabilistic forecasts; (D) improved observations, including through radars, satellites, and uncrewed aerial systems; (E) a flexible framework to communicate clear and simple hazardous weather and water event information to the public; and (F) improved coordination among offices of the National Weather Service, such as the National Hurricane Center, the River Forecast Centers, and forecast offices of the National Weather Service, to reduce the occurrence of disparate weather predictions and to better communicate the relationship between overlapping weather forecasts for different periods of time; and (F) (G) social, behavioral, risk, and communication research to improve the forecaster operational environment and societal information reception and response.
