TOUR THE NATIONAL WEATHER CENTER

AOPA will offer tours of
the National Weather
Center (NWC) on Friday
of the fly-in weekend.
NWC is of particular
interest to pilots because
it is home to the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Storm
Prediction Center, which
forecasts weather around
the clock; the National
Severe Storms Laboratory, which works to
improve forecasts and warnings of severe weather; the
Nexrad Radar Operations Center; and the National Weather
Service's Norman, Oklahoma, forecast office. Tours of the
244,000-square-foot NWC facility will be offered throughout
the day on Friday as well as an intensive all-day workshop on
Understanding Aviation Weather (pre-registration required;
tuition fees apply). AOPA will provide transportation to and
from the Westheimer Airport on Friday for both the all-day
workshop and tours. See the website for more information.
