Office Tours

Caldwell Early College High School (Hudson, NC) tour Spring 2017. Our Upper Air Building (where we launch weather balloons).

There are many different groups that have indicated interest in coming to the Forecast Office for tours. Just a few of these include:

School systems (classes/teachers)
Scout troops
Amateur radio groups
Church organizations
Senior citizen groups
Weather spotter groups

Tour Scheduling: We can accommodate groups up to 20 people. Groups larger than this are possible but will take advanced planning and the ability to be split up into smaller groups and be willing to be outside for part of the tour.

The best time to request a tour is between the hours of 9:00 am and Noon, and after 5:00 pm. Other times may be scheduled if necessary. During the spring and summer months, a tour during the evening is advised so that you can watch the evening balloon launch (around 7 PM EDT).

*Please Note: Tours may be cancelled, if necessary, because of weather, staffing shortage, or changes to the terror alert threat level. Because of occasional unforeseen circumstances, some tours may need to be cancelled at the last minute. We will make arrangements to re-schedule the tour as soon as possible, or can offer a weather presentation instead.

To request a tour, please contact the National Weather Service in Newport/Morehead City, NC.
