DAY OF THE LAST SPRING FREEZE? Here is a very helpful message from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center: Just when you think winter is over … Every spring, we are teased with intermittent warm periods that motivate us to plant flowers, plant our vegetable garden, or sit back and watch our local farms, orchards, and communities green up. If we are lucky, once we take that action, a freeze event will avoid us for many months - long after farms have been harvested and flowers have lost their luster. If we’re unlucky, at least one more freeze event will make an appearance and damage our positive planting efforts. So, how long to do we have to wait before we know it’s safe? Every year is different, and weather forecasts can certainly help. However, climatology of past spring freeze can help remind us when there’s still a chance. NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has recently updated their map of the “Day of the Last Spring Freeze” [http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/when-expect-your-last-spring-freeze] based upon the 1981-2010 US Climate Normals. This product shows when the average last spring freeze occurred over that 30-year period. If you’re interested in when the latest last spring freeze occurred during that period, the earliest last spring freeze occurred, or multiple other combinations, check out the “Midwestern Regional Climate Center’s (MRCC’s http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/)” Vegetation Impact Program’s (VIP’s) Frost/Freeze Guidance website http://mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/VIP/index.html. This website provided various climatological products including not only a freeze event defined as <=32F, but also “hard freeze” events defined as <=28F. There are also a variety of climate monitoring tools on this site that provide daily, updated information such as: date of the most recent freeze event, days since the most recent freeze event, number of freezing days over the past 2 weeks, lowest minimum temperature this past season, and accumulated growing degree-days since the most recent freeze event. All of these products are designed for the public, gardeners, forecasters, and other stakeholders to understand the potential for spring (and fall) freeze events given what has happened in the past - both recent and over the past 30 years. For more information about the MRCC’s VIP Frost/Freeze program, please send an email to: vip-info@illinois.edu

THE 2015 HURRICANE AWARENESS TOUR IS SCHEDULED AT NORFOLK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (ORF) LANDMARK AVIATION FACILITY - TUESDAY, MAY 5, 2015. NOAA hurricane experts will visit five U.S. East Coast cities and one city in Canada, flying aboard a USAF Reserve WC-130J Hurricane Hunter aircraft along with the NOAA G-IV aircraft to raise awareness of the impacts from tropical cyclone threats and the danger of being caught without a personal hurricane plan. National Hurricane Center Director, Dr. Rick Knabb, hurricane specialists Daniel Brown and John Cangialosi, the USAF Hurricane Hunter crew members, and the NOAA aircraft crew members will be on hand to educate residents of vulnerable communities about hurricane preparedness. Officials from Virginia Department of Emergency Management, local emergency management offices, non-profit organizations such as the American Red Cross, and personnel from NOAA's National Weather Service Wakefield, VA forecast office will be part of the team at the Norfolk stop... along with local media. The public will be able to tour the aircraft, and meet with flight crews between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm on Tuesday, May 5th. The official flyer regarding this event can be viewed with a click here. The file contains additional information about the aircraft that will be on hand. If you have any questions regarding the Hurricane Awareness Tour, please feel free to contact Jeff Orrock, Meteorologist In Charge, at (757) 899-5730 or at jeff.orrock@noaa.gov
