The National Weather Service in Paducah Kentucky will continue to offer a way for you to bring a meteorologist into YOUR classroom - through virtual school talks. These virtual talks were very successful during the 2020-2021 school year, so we wanted to offer you this option again this year. 

 

If you are interested in having one of our staff speak to your students virtually about weather, click here to read the instructions and fill out the request form. Someone will get back to you as soon as possible to schedule your class. Make sure to check your email (or spam folder) for a response. The talks will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.
