Windstorm Paths in the U.S.

Windstorm Paths in the U.S.This feature layer, utilizing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), displays windstorm paths in the United States between 1955 and 2024. A windstorm path shows the route of a windstorm. Per NOAA, "Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong thunderstorm winds can come from a number of different processes. Most thunderstorm winds that cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow generated by a thunderstorm downdraft. Damaging winds are classified as those exceeding 50-60 mph."Windstorm Path in MarylandData currency: December 30, 2024Data source: Storm Prediction CenterData modifications: Added field: Date_CalcFor more information: Wind; NOAA Weather ViewSupport documentation: SPC Tornado, Hail, and Wind Database Format SpecificationFor feedback, please contact: ArcGIScomNationalMaps@esri.comNational Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationPer NOAA, its mission is "To understand and predict changes in climate, weather, ocean, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources."
