Special Friday Evening Tour!
In 1992, a new forecast office for Southeast Michigan was constructed in Oakland County’s White Lake Township. This merged the forecast office in Ann Arbor with the offices at Detroit Metro and Flint. Climate data for Metro Airport is still received and archived at the NWS White Lake office, maintaining the continuous weather data for Detroit that goes back to the late 19th century. On this tour, you will learn about weather forecasting and the weather balloon, then head out to the observation area to see the weather balloon launch for the evening.
