On behalf of Severe Weather Team 2, we would like to welcome you to StormWatch. We look forward to working with you again to provide your parents and students with the most immediate, accurate information about your schools’ status during inclement weather.

As you know, we use an automated system in order to give you direct access to the system without the need to work through operators on our end. This speeds up the process of getting the information to air and puts you in charge.
