cycloneye wrote:NOAA Press Conference at 1 PM CDT about High Risk for Saturday
Having a press conference one day before a big severe weather event is another first or it has occured before?
Severe weather is expected in the central U.S. through this coming weekend, and tornadoes and large hail could be especially threatening on Saturday. This severe weather is expected in a region where the National Weather Service has already equipped many of its Doppler radars with Dual Polarization technology, which can better detect when and where tornadoes are on the ground. Parts of this region are also testing stronger “call-to-action” wording in tornado warnings to further help protect lives and create a more weather-ready nation.
WHAT:
Media briefing on severe weather expected in the central U.S., and steps the National Weather Service has taken since last year’s destructive tornado season.
WHEN:
Friday, April 13; 1 p.m. CT / 2 p.m. ET
WHO:
Jack Hayes, Ph.D., director, NOAA’s National Weather Service
Russ Schneider, Ph.D., director, NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center
NOAA Press Conference Advisory
I believe it is a first.
I have an exam tomorrow morning...it will be tough thinking about everyone with this.
