On Tuesday, September 8th, the National Weather Service in Louisville opened its doors for area Emergency Managers to get a look at what we do in our office.  They got to see all of the different types of forecasts and products that we are responsible for, from aviation weather to graphical forecasts and climate record keeping.  Also shown were some of the newer areas we are getting into, including more involvement in social media as well as decision support services.  Thank you to all who turned out for this event and we look forward to working more with you in the future.
