Details about how our Skywarn net will run for this event will be determined locally. Anyone who is interested in participating is welcome to attend a planning meeting which will be held at the Sterling facility on Saturday, November 13 at 10 am. Information concerning NWS Sterling participation will be added to our web site and announced on NOAA Weather Radio as we get closer to the event. The outlook is similar to last year with the expectation of temperatures to average above normal. See CPC's web site highlighted in the May 8 Minutes.
Winter storms are more likely to track up the Ohio Valley versus the East Coast.
This means that snowfall of more than 8 inches east of the Appalachians from any one storm is very unlikely through February 2000. March is always more uncertain. Snowfall is likely to be below normal but overall precipitation may average near normal. For most winter events, the amateur radio net is run remotely. Meaning ham radio operators need not be present at the weather office.
