National Weather Service Miami, Florida

Since 1995, this office of the NWS has been located on the campus of Florida International University and adjacent to the National Hurricane Center.

After President Ulysses S. Grant signed a joint resolution of Congress in 1870 establishing a weather service within the United States Army, the Signal Corps opened 22 observation stations.

In 1890, President Benjamin Harrison requested that Congress create the Weather Bureau and transfer it to the Department of Agriculture.

During the winter of 1894–1895, WBO Jupiter recorded two severe freezes, with low temperatures of 24 and 27 °F (−4 and −3 °C) on December 29 and February 9, respectively.

As a result, Henry Flagler decided to extend the Florida East Coast Railway southward to Miami from West Palm Beach.

[1] Due to Miami's rapidly growing population in the early 20th century, the WBO in Jupiter closed in May 1911 and moved to the city about a month later.

The NWS offices in Melbourne, Tampa, and West Palm Beach all provided forecasting issuance and backup warnings.
