It was an all-Florida @NWS team effort today at @FloridaGHC, leading a workshop on effective hurricane messaging for our partners in emergency management. @NWSKeyWest @NWSMiami @NWSTampaBay @NWSMelbourne @NWSJacksonville @NWSTallahassee @NWSMobile @NWSNHC

Thank you for inviting us to participate this week! We encourage all of our friends in North Carolina to prepare for this hurricane season like you would any other and follow the advice of local officials in your state.

Thank you to @NWSLakeCharles and @ChennaultCWF for hosting an excellent event for the Hurricane Awareness Tour in Lake Charles, Louisiana! As always, we couldn’t do it without our partners and friends at @NOAA_HurrHunter and @53rdWRS.

Check out our discussion about storm surge with @NWSNHC Storm Surge Specialist Cody Fritz, and Lt. Nico Osborn from @NOAA_HurrHunter about aerial surveying of the damage in Jamaica from last year’s Hurricane Melissa with the King Air aircraft. youtube.com/live/rOg58VIjb…

What a great showing for the Mobile stop of the Hurricane Awareness Tour! Thank you to @NWSMobile for hosting today’s event! Next stop: Lake Charles, Louisiana, with @NWSLakeCharles on Wednesday.

How do data from the @53rdWRS help @NWSNHC hurricane specialists make a hurricane forecast, and meteorologists at @NWSWPC make rainfall forecasts? youtube.com/live/Y0RBoe-GW…

A 9-foot storm surge is no joke! @NWSMobile built their own storm surge pole to show how high storm surge can get, and how much surge some hurricanes have caused in the area. The colors match those used in NHC’s storm surge products. Nice work!
