[KYHAM] Re: Amateur Radio SET and Lili; THE WORD!

[Ron Dodson]

Juat talked with NWS again regarding the developing
situation.  Lili is moving VERY FAST.  From computer models
they are looking at now, rainfall to Ky appears much less
than 1 inch total in all scenarios.

They expect Lili to not be a major event in this region of
the country and to be out of the Kentuckiana area by
Saturday AM. Therefore, there will likely be NO SPOTTER
ACTIVATIONS tomorrow unless something changes in the next 24
hours and Ky Simulated Eemergency Test with NWS offices of
the state will role as scheduled under the released
simulation scenario on Saturday Oct. 5th under partly cloudy
skies.
