What type of services are you requesting? (Check all that apply)

Phone Briefing Planning Forecast Email Briefing Planning Forecast Heads up for imminent (0-60 minutes out) hazardous weather

If you selected email or phone briefings, what date and time do you want to receive the service? Example: "Afternoon Before", "Daily by 11 AM"

In addition to lightning, severe thunderstorm wind/hail/tornadoes, and dangerous heat, are there are other weather concerns that the NWS should be aware of?

For instance, maybe your tents are designed to work up to 40 mph instead of our warning criteria of 58 mph. Let us know that. Or, are there any flooding concerns regarding your parking area should heavy rain occur?

Please provide any additional detailed information that applies to this event.

For example, is there an important set-up or take-down period included in the timeframe?
