Which National Weather Service office covers your county?

Severe weather watches and warnings play a critical role in public safety by giving communities the time they need to prepare efficiently. 

These alerts are issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) through its network of local Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs). Each office is responsible for a specific group of counties. 

NWS Chicago: McHenry, Boone, Winnebago, Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb County.

NWS Quad Cities: Stephenson, Jo-Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside County. 

NWS Milwaukee: Green, Rock, and Walworth County
