The weekend of April 19th and 20th we were at the Coastal Carolina Air Show. We handed out weather safety information and answered any questions pertaining to the weather.

The free brochures we handed out ranged from rip currents to thunderstorm safety to tornado safety, to name a few. Our most popular handouts were hurricane tracking charts and a sky watcher chart detailing the different cloud types. For the younger kids we handed out Owlie Skywarn, which are weather coloring books. We emphasized our local website as a one stop place for weather information.

In addition to the handouts, we debuted our mobile weather station which gave live temperature, wind speed, and wind gust information from our booth. The Air Show drew around 100,000 people and we handed out over 1,000 brochures.

On April 26th we were at the Lower Cape Fear celebration of Earth Day at Hugh McRae Park in Wilmington, NC.

We partnered with another NOAA agency, North Carolina's Sea Grant, who was represented by Lisa Humphrey. Working with Lisa we tailored our information toward coastal impacts such as Rip Currents.

The estimated crowd for the Earth Day event was over 1,000 people and we handed out over 100 brochures on weather safety.
