Requests for Weather Support this summer
by Frank Nocera - NOAA Federal 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Good afternoon Public Safety Partners, NWS Boston/Norton office will provide weather support for two very large outdoor events this summer: the FIFA World Cup and Sail Boston/America250. Given this large undertaking, please check your calendars and notify us ASAP of any planned outdoor events (graduations, outdoor festivals, concerts, etc.) this summer (May thru August) for which you anticipate needing weather support from us, even if you don't have the details yet. Having the awareness of those events will greatly assist our planning process to ensure we have additional staff scheduled for those days. *Please do this ASAP, as we may not be able to support requests made with less than 2 weeks notice. * Once you decide you need us to provide weather briefings and/or a "weather watch" to assist in your public safety planning, please use this Weather Support Request Form <https://www.weather.gov/box/em_form> to provide us the specifics of your needs. Again, the further in advance notice we receive, the better we can plan our support. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

by Frank Nocera - NOAA Federal 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Partners, For those who missed the live training from SPC regarding their new (as of 3/3/26) Conditional Intensity Outlooks, recorded sessions are now available on YouTube. This covers all content from the individualized sessions and can be shared widely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVFHLkbFtNQ SPC have also created a two-minute video designed to explain these changes to a non-weather audience: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2Eam8jrQg54 Also, a common request from the audience was for a one-pager to synthesize this information. Thus, SPC has put together a very informative one-pager (actually 3 pages and attached below) for your reference. Enjoy the training material and let me know if you have any questions.
