Just a quick note to let you all know what the District sent to local news desks
yesterday.
The flash flood prediction and notification services provided by the meteorologists at
Skyview Weather include the following major elements:
1. Operations run from 15 April thru 30 September. When conditions warrant, Skyview
will issue "MESSAGES" concerning imminent low impact flooding, flash flood
watches and flash flood warnings to primary emergency contact points. Notifications
concerning possible street flooding, i.e. MESSAGE 1-STREET FLOODING POTENTIAL will only be
disseminated electronically. A description of the standard messages can be found at
http://f2p2.udfcd.org/messagedefs.pdf.
2. Normal operating hours for Skyview will be from 7AM to 10PM including weekends.
3. The National Weather Service will cover those hours not covered by Skyview,
although Skyview will stay in operation after 10PM if weather conditions warrant.
4. Daily forecasts begin on May 1 and end on September 30. Dissemination is via
email/text/fax subscriptions<http://alert5.udfcd.org/subscriptions/> and all
products are accessible from the F2P2
website<http://alert5.udfcd.org/flood-prediction-notification/>;. Product
descriptions are available at http://alert5.udfcd.org/f2p2-products/.
5. Between April 15 and April 30, Skyview will issue MESSAGES when necessary through
normal channels. Daily products are not available during this period.
You can sign up for the F2P2 messages from our 'alert5' website. The subscription
page is http://alert5.udfcd.org/subscriptions/
Our Twitter notifications have also been activated for 2019. See

Happy storm chasing,
Kevin
p.s. We have migrated to a new email listserver that uses a different domain address of
@udfcd-lists.org. Hopefully this will get to your inbox. We recommend that you have your
IT folks whitelist this domain.
