Our weather models try their best to pin point what area will be hit the hardest and which areas that could see no affect at all. The National Weather Service in Sterling, VA is the test bed for a new Winter Storm Threat Graphic. The Storm Prediction Center issues severe weather outlooks, now winter weather is going to be treated the same way. Will these be helpful? Will they confuse people? Warning Coordinator Meteorologist Christopher Strong from The National Weather Service in Sterling, VA will join us to talk about how his forecast office will be the first to use the new method.? http://on.fb.me/1Rg9zWk #Skywarn #WRN Click the link for more information about the event set for 8 pm Eastern Time.

To find your local office, go to http://www.weather.gov/norman Enter your zip code in the location box. Click the link to the NWS office that manages the Skywarn program in your area. Look for Skywarn or Severe Weather on the site. Hope that helps everyone find the Skywarn program in your area, if you don't know your emergency manager. Lloyd
