BYE TWEB

At 5PM today the National Weather Service is getting rid of the TWEB forecast. They had discussed the possibility of ending the TWEB earlier this year. May 20th was the final day for the public to speak out against their removal and less than 1% of the users responded. So goodbye to the TWEB. I found them to be most useful for a forecast between the western side of the Cascades and the eastern side. Since Stampede Pass is the only weather reporting we have over the mountains they were quite helpful. If you didn’t know… a TWEB forecast is a specific route forecast such as Seattle to Ellensburg. Now we will just have to rely on the area forecast which I just find to be entirely WAY to broad of a forecast. Oh well.
