Contemporary Practices and Guidance for Communicating Probability Information

Heeding the call from social scientists to include more information about forecast uncertainty in their briefings and discussions, forecasters across the NWS have innovated in numerous ways. This presentation will provide an overview of some of these approaches, which include efforts to base content on specific social science research, rapid prototyping, template generation, and more. The presentation will also include the current status of an NWS workgroup that is taking in all of these field innovations to generate a set of recommendations, templates, examples, or other products to share these practices more widely across NWS.
