Mike DeWeese Presentation Synopsis: NWS Ensemble River Hydrographs - New Experimental Guidance Product Mike DeWeese, from the National Weather Service (NWS) North Central River Forecast Center (NCRFC), will discuss the challenges of the spatial and temporal variability of rain in convective environments and how the NWS has evaluated different strategies to provide relative uncertainty associated with River Forecasts. The strategy currently employed at the NCRFC is based on the NWS Hydrometeorological Prediction Center’s (HPC) Experimental Precipitation Confidence Interval Forecasts. Mr. DeWeese will present the new Ensemble Hydrographs which are intended to provide users with information on the hydrologic impacts of future precipitation at river forecast points within the Red, Missouri, and Mississippi River basins. 1/2-PDH for the technical presentation.

We
had a great turnout for the
Young Member (and
not-quite-so-young member)
event on Sat, May 1st at
Summit Brewery in St. Paul.
We slightly overfilled our
twenty slots, but
fortunately no one was
turned away, and thankfully
there was enough samples
afterward for everyone.
There
was a nice distribution of
representatives from our
Post, the local SWE chapter,
and students from the
University of Minnesota who
were interested in becoming
student members of either of
the engineering societies. 
The
history stories and tour
takes about an hour; after
which you are rewarded with
three healthy samples of
your choice.
