In effort to supplement the forecast package that we send out multiple times a day, forecasters will also put together a summary weather story which we post to our social media platforms, as well as to our JKL homepage (www.weather.gov/jkl).

We also send out Graphical NowCast images, which highlight the most significant weather (if any weather is occurring) for the next few hours. These are typically made on the fly and updated multiple times throughout an event to include information such as timing and impacts.
