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.
This week, 75 first responders attended “The Voices in the Storm Symposium” in New Hanover County, focusing on hurricane preparedness, coordination, and communication. The event emphasized lessons learned and practical strategies for emergency management.

How do data from the @53rdWRS help @NWSNHC hurricane specialists make a hurricane forecast, and meteorologists at @NWSWPC make rainfall forecasts?

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!
