Abstract:
The National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will work together to conduct new data collection, specifically a survey across the NWS Central Region to determine different core partners’ decisions, needs, preferences, understanding, and usefulness regarding probabilistic snowfall forecasts. The core partners of particular interest for this survey are emergency managers, school officials, and transportation officials. Results from this survey will inform how probabilistic snowfall information will be used in future NWS products and services. The benefit is that this evidence-based knowledge will help NWS provide winter weather forecast information in a way that is meteorologically sound as well as user-driven, which will improve core partners’ ability to make improved decisions for the protection of life and property.
