Easy-to-read early-warning system

摘要

Severe weather can always wreak havoc, but especially when an operation is ill-prepared. A program launched by the California DOT (Cal-trans) is working to diminish nature's damaging effects by helping public agencies better prepare for blizzards, gale-force winds, and ice storms. WeatherShare aggregates weather and forecast data - i.e., air temperature, atmospheric pressure, average wind speed and direction, fuel moisture and temperature, maximum wind gust speed, precipitation, relative humidity, visibility, etc. - from across the state, then disseminates that information graphically.
