The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida is hosting a series of Weather Hazards Workshops in March for mariners and sailors who want to learn how to access and interpret weather forecasts and warnings while at sea and before setting out.

Published 2 years ago

The Mariners Weather Hazards Workshops will take place from March 14-16 and are designed for mariners, sailors and those who are responsible for safety at sea, to learn about the marine forecasts and hurricane forecasts produced by the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center and how to access and interpret these critical weather forecasts and warnings.

Andrew Hagen, marine forecaster with the National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch says participants will also have an opportunity to ask the forecasters questions and provide ideas/feedback as to how the NWS and NHC can improve the services they offer.

“The workshop is hybrid (meaning there will be some folks attending in person, with many people also attending virtually),”  Andrew said.  “Those who would like to attend, are asked  to register  by following the link below and filling out the form. More than 175 people have already registered  for this year’s workshop.”
