Mission of the Aviation Weather Center (AWC)        
The function of the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) is to save lives, protect property and enhance commerce by issuing warnings of hazardous conditions within the domestic and international airspace and by issuing operational aviation forecasts and analyses of relevant atmospheric variables. The AWC prepares all NWS domestic and international aviation products, except for terminal forecasts and transcribed weather broadcasts, which are produced by the Weather Forecast Offices, and for certain products for the Alaska and Pacific Regions. The AWC serves as a national source for aviation weather information.
