NWS Louisville has a couple of representatives at this year's National Weather Association's (NWA) annual meeting in St. Louis. Meteorologist in Charge John Gordon and Science and Operations Office Ted Funk have made presentations already and are getting some of the latest science and training tools from meteorologists across the country. John Gordon on Monday presented, along with a former student volunteer at our office, Cody Moore from the University of Louisville (image below), about the change in status of a storm that affected Jessamine County, Kentucky, back in 1995.

John also participated in a mentoring session with students attending the NWA. In the image below he, far right of image, is mentoring alongside NWS Director Louis Uccellini, second from right. The image below that has John, with the group of students from Western Kentucky University.

Ted Funk presented twice on Tuesday: first with a poster session on a project we are doing here at the office to improve our Tornado Warning False Alarm Rate. Second he gave a talk on how Office Culture and Human Biases affect the Tornado Warning decision process within the NWS offices in Central Region, which runs from Colorado to Kentucky north to our border with Canada.

Ted also interacted with many of the people at the conference, including running into WDRB chief meteorologist Marc Weinberg; see image below.

Another former student volunteer, Kacy Cleveland (looking at camera in image below) from the University of Louisville, also gave a poster presentation about heat strokes inside locked vehicles.
