nchighcountrywx Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Superb. The Hydrometeor Classification Product will be very interesting to use as our Mountain snow season begins in November. Currently KMRX has been upgraded, but KFCX and KGSP has not. I am not sure of the date for the KFCX upgrade. On a related note, has anyone heard if KGSP will give their public winter outlook presentation publically this year? In years past, they have done it in Newland and in Shelby. Both were lightly attended the 2 years that I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
