Now that's a unique weather forecasting method.

I came across an intriguing video on The Weather Channel featuring NOAA and the National Severe Storms Laboratory highlighting the Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS). Technicians successfully modeled recent tornado activity in Central Iowa, well in advance. Impressive work!

Technology has indeed come a long way in the last decade – turning what was once a possibility into a reality! Anticipating tornadoes and predicting their path demands robust computing power and skilled forecasting. The potential to reduce casualties is immense for emergency managers and citizens alike. I'm looking forward to hearing of more successful applications of WoFS and the impactful work from @NOAANSSL.

To my fellow #EmergencyManagers, which tools do you employ for monitoring weather events and other natural occurrences? A couple of months ago, I was introduced to a program called Ventusky. It offers a variety of different tools for monitoring weather, observing predictions, and getting in-depth details on incoming storms, weather systems, and natural occurrences like air quality and ocean conditions. Would love to learn what tools you have accessible in your #EM toolbox!

Weather intelligence in the shipping industry is critical during all sorts of conditions, including the current disruptions ship operators and owners are facing. My colleague, Jim Foerster, DTN chief meteorologist, explains how on Forbes. #shipping #ShippingIndustry #WeatherIntelligence #forbes

It's the first thing a marine meteorologist looks at in the morning: a synoptic weather chart. What makes it such a beloved tool for weather experts and mariners alike? Read the article by Sofia Rudenko: https://lnkd.in/e4Yrbigf
