From the beginning of May through the first week of June, the NWS Warning Decision Training Branch (WDTB) has been partnering with the Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) Experimental Warning Program (EWP) to produce weekly webinars which capture operational meterologists’ experiences from their time testing new forecasting products and tools in the HWT.

The Friday webinars each featured 4 forcasters sharing their thoughts about how proxy GOES-R products and tools performed and helped them make warning decisions. Below are the links to the archived webinars:
