Last Saturday I went on a tour of NOAA's NWS Miami and the NHC Offices. The tour was given by Robert Molleda, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist and set up by Don Morris, the Miami-Dade Skywarn Coordinator at the NWS Miami office. Robert Molleda did a nice presentation and a really good job showing us around and explaining how both offices operate. The tour was very informative and interesting as well. I highly reccommend it to anyone who may have a chance to go on one. Here are only a few pictures that I took. I have many more pictures of both offices including Max Mayfields directors chair where I sat in and became the new NHC director, until reality set in, :-).
The front entrance of the NWS/NHC Building
This is part of the NHC Offices.
The NWS Miami Office, it's located on the other side of NHC offices.
The infamous dropwindsonde that is released from the aircraft and falls through the storm via a parachute.
