Gaylord Weather Forecast Office

The Gaylord National Weather Service office is located 9 miles southwest of town. With our WSR88D Doppler Radar, perched on a hill top in the North-Central Lower Peninsula, we have Forecast, Watch, Warning and Advisory responsibility over a 25 County Warning Area (CWA), which includes 2 counties in the Eastern Upper Peninsula.

The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. NWS data and products form a national information database and infrastructure which can be used by other governmental agencies, the private sector, the public, and the global community.

NWS operates 122 Weather Forecast Offices in six regions. Each Weather Forecast Office has a geographic area of responsibility, also known as a County Warning Area, for issuing local public, marine, aviation, fire, and hydrology forecasts. They also issue severe weather warnings, gather weather observations, and climate data for their assigned area.
