Dear MA School Superintendents, Earlier this afternoon, you received an email from me regarding our Decision Support Services (DSS) for emergency managers. The reason that you received this email is because you are also on our distribution list for heads-up weather Powerpoints (you probably just received one about a little wintry weather coming up). I wanted to clarify that our DSS event support is limited to town emergency manager requests. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specialized forecasts for individual school districts (hundreds in our forecast region) for sporting events, graduations, etc. That said, however, I would love to offer some training -- at a meeting with all superintendents or regional meetings -- to show you where on our website to glean pertinent, critical information, both in advance of and during your events. For example, I could demonstrate our point-and-click forecast, the hourly weather graph chart, our forecaster discussions, the NWS radar loop, the Storm Prediction Center's severe weather outlook, snowfall forecasts, etc. Paul/Scott, please let me know if this is feasible to work into one of your training sessions. Thanks. Hope this clarifies what the support that we can and cannot provide. Sincerely, Glenn Field Warning Coordination Meteorologist NWS - Norton, MA (508) 622-3250 ext. 223 (or press 2 from menu)
