1. It's 8:00 am on Tuesday, February 28th. You are just getting into your EOC in Stephens County and haven't checked the weather lately. What is a good product for a broad overview of your hazards?
Answer.
- There's no perfect product ... but may we suggest the OK-FIRST Weather Briefing Page!
- It contains the zone forecast for your county, from your local WFO.
- It has links to the Hazardous Weather Outlook (a great first read!) from your local WFO
- It lists any ongoing watches or warnings
- It gives a decent radar and Mesonet overview
- If you want to get more comfortable with weather ... read one of the several discussion products available there!
The Bottom Line.
-
OK-FIRST Weather Briefing tries to bring together the most appropriate advice, discussion, advisories and data to start your shift. (Nice commercial, huh?)
