[Weather] Clarification of NWS-Norton DSS support; offer for training

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

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
