National Weather Service in Lincoln making upgrades to its weather systems and communication.

That’s according to Warning Coordination Meteorologist Ed Shimon.

Shimon says the NWS Lincoln center is upgrading the way it tells the weather patterns. 

The NWS wants to improve the way they communicate hazardous storms to the public. Shimon says they do a pretty good job, but they want to do a better job telling the public the impact of storms. 

He also describes how the Climate Prediction Center is able to project long-term weather outcomes. That includes projections of a La Niña winter like this year’s projection. 

Shimon appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
