Morning and afternoon seminars are scheduled for May 15 at WKU’s Environmental Sciences and Technology Building, room 337. The morning session begins at 9:30 with the afternoon session at 1 p.m.

“We’re very excited to put on the first-ever Bowling Green media seminar at Western Kentucky University to spread the meteorology knowledge for the protection of life and property to the Bowling Green and Nashville area,” said John Gordon, meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Louisville office.

The National Weather Service conducts media seminars in the Louisville and Lexington areas but asked WKU to host a seminar for media outlets in this area, according to Dr. Stuart Foster, director of the Kentucky Climate Center and the Kentucky Mesonet.

“The seminar will give the Kentucky Climate Center and the Mesonet valuable exposure in our region among a group of future users of our data,” Dr. Foster said.
