It seems as though we now live in a world inundated by social media, and all the information we could ever imagine is now at our fingertips. The National Weather Service is no different. Social media has played a crucial role in how we operate, both in how we convey weather information and how we receive it. Each forecaster is plugged into Facebook and Twitter every day during their shift, monitoring feeds and sending out information as necessary. In times of inclement weather, our goal is to provide guidance on preparedness leading up to the event, critical information during the event, and some type of post analysis after the event. Social media has also turned into a valuable tool for receiving storm reports and critical information from you, the users. Your storm reports are vital to our warning decision process, providing the link between what we are seeing on radar and what is actually impacting you at your location.
