As the school year begins, the NWS is launching a Back to School social media campaign.  Beginning on Sunday August 16, Owlie Skywarn and NWS social media (Facebook and Twitter) will be featuring various weather related resources to help educators, both formal and informal, and others who support education in preparing for the upcoming school year.
