Oklahoma City (Norman) Weather Forecast Office

The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Norman is located at 120 David L. Boren Boulevard in the National Weather Center building, built in 2006. This is located on the South Research Campus of the University of Oklahoma. The building is also along the north side of Highway 9, which runs west to east along the south side of the city of Norman.

At the Norman Forecast Office, we issue 7-day forecasts for 48 counties in Oklahoma and 8 counties in Western North Texas. In order to produce these forecasts, the forecasters utilize the Advanced Weather Integrated Processing System (AWIPS) to analyze the latest weather data and computer model forecasts. Also, they use the Graphical Forecast Editor (GFE) to create gridded forecasts of dozens of weather variables for the entire 7-day period. An example of a GFE grid is pictured below. Finally, forecasters also use the FX-Collaborate (FXC) program to create graphical depictions of the biggest weather stories over the next few days.
