http://alert5.udfcd.org/news-release/ 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.
