Weather Service Announcement - Severe weather poses significant safety risks to the University community. While some severe weather events evolve slowly and are predictable hours or even days in advance, others develop quickly with little advance warning. EHS, in collaboration with the Departments of Grounds and Building Maintenance, Public Safety, and Athletics, has selected DTN/Meteorlogix’s real-time severe weather forecasting service to provide alerts and advanced warning of potentially hazardous weather that could impact campus activities. More information is available at the DTN/Meterologix website. http://www.dtnmeteorlogix.com/index.cfm
