Weather service helps you keep tabs on the next threatPosted Feb27, 2007 at 04:45 PMThe National Weather Service in Blacksburg has a neat new feature on what has been its current events page on its Web site that helps you keep track on upcoming severe, flooding, winter, fire, and heat/drought threats locally, regionally, nationally. Just click on the tabs at the top of the page for the latest "briefing pages" on these different types of inclement weather. Not only will you see a local map of warnings/advisories and clickable images of radar, satellite and surface map images, but also maps from national forecast office depicting broad areas of inclement weather threat. I have linked these maps quite often on this blog. So let's use this new feature for the upcoming system, which looks like a fairly rainy one for us on Thursday. Click here for the latest on the severe weather threat and the heavy/rain flooding threat from the upcoming storm. |
