Minnesota is known for harsh winters, filled with snow storms and below-zero temperatures. When the snow melts and the ground thaws, dangerous thunderstorms can bring flooding, hail, and tornadoes. As a result, National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists in Minnesota’s Twin Cities need all the help they can get in spreading the word about weather safety. To meet this need, the Twin Cities Weather Forecast Office (WFO) developed a creative way of connecting with their partners through the Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors (WRN) initiative. Their approach has been so successful that it is now being replicated in forecast offices across the country.
