From local weather staffs and emergency management agencies, to national weather services and storm chasers and weather watchers on social media, the topic and potential threat of severe weather can quickly take precedence over any activity or news broadcast, while capturing the attention of local residents.
The forum is free and open to the public. Discussion begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude by 10:30 a.m. with time for questions from the audience.
