Huntsville NWS Open House
This is an invitation from the National Weather Service in Huntsville… I hope this won’t be “snowed out”!
As part of the five year anniversary of the Huntsville National Weather Service Office, we are hosting an Open House on Saturday, March 8th.
This event, which is free and open to the public, will give you a chance to tour our Operations Area, where we make all our forecasts and warnings. Tour space is limited, so arrive early to pick up your free tour tickets.
Additionally, we will have a childrens area with a bean bag toss, coloring activites, videos, and a hands-on hurricane activity. Nearby, there will be a full size weather safety miniature golf course hole.
Other fun activities include a weather forecasting contest, putting you in charge of making a forecast for Huntsville. In fact, the best forecast will win one of several prizes–ranging from a job shadow with one of our forecasters, to an official NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio.
We will also have a whole area dedicated to hydrology, climatology, and cooperative weather observations. If you’ve ever wondered how we acquire data, or how we use it, you’ll certainly want to pay a visit to this section.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday March 8th, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Directions to our office can be found here.
Saturday, March 8th, 10 AM to 3 PM
