Effective October 31, 2014, NWS use of Twitter as an

environmental information service, will transition to

operational status. Twitter is a commonly used social networking

service that allows participants to share information with other

users. Microblogging services like Twitter serve as an important

source of real-time news updates. The short nature of updates

allows users to post news items quickly, reaching their audience

in seconds.
