Published at | Updated atPOCATELLO – The EastIdahoNews.com team is highlighting different jobs in our area, and today we’re Workin’ It at the National Weather Service in Pocatello.
East Idaho News works with the NWS to alert the public about weather changes and we got an inside look at how they do that. I learned how to issue a tornado warning, a winter weather storm warning and how to collect and measure daily rainfall in Pocatello.
Take a look in the video above.
