A Terrific Opportunity for You Weather Lovers

Come one, come all to the first meeting of 2014 for the Central Alabama Chapter of the National Weather Association.

The meeting will be held Monday night, March 17th, 2014 from 7-8:15 PM, at the Homewood Suites in the Riverchase community of Hoover.

The Central Alabama Chapter of the National Weather Association is dedicated to promoting the important place of weather in every aspect of our lives. The Chapter brings together operational forecasters, broadcasters, government meteorologists, academicians, emergency managers and weather enthusiasts to network and learn about operational meteorology.

The goal of the Central Alabama National Weather Association Chapter is to increase weather awareness and education, and to make everyone a Weather Ready Ambassador. Members have plenty of opportunities to interface, network and work together in a relaxed setting, which will advance the understanding of each other’s roles and foster personal relationships that will come in handy when skies turn threatening. There are abundant opportunities to get involved in leadership through committees and officer positions.

The meeting Monday night will have guest speakers Kevin Laws from NWS Birmingham and Bob Dreisewerd from Baron Services Inc. They will be talking radar. We will learn more about the existing ways radar data is used and interpreted, some new more rapid scan strategies that will be used this year, and where the future of the technology is headed. It will certainly be an interesting topic and you will not want to miss out on this opportunity.

After an incredible 2013, the Chapter is looking forward to a better 2014. The main reason we can do this is because Baron Services Inc., from Huntsville, Alabama has signed on to be a corporate sponsor for the Chapter for 2014. This will allow us to achieve bigger and better goals for the year ahead.

Becoming a member of the Chapter is a terrific opportunity. What makes this so incredible is because the local dues are just $25. That covers the entire year and guarantees access to all Chapter events during 2014. Dues can be paid online with credit card or PayPal ($1.06 processing fee), or by check or cash in person at a meeting or by mail.

Please visit the Chapter Website, join the chapter and RSVP for the meeting Monday night. Hope to see you there!
