Friday evening tour
In 1992, a new forecast office for Southeast Michigan was constructed in Oakland County’s White Lake Township. This office essentially merged the forecast office in Ann Arbor with the offices at Detroit Metro and Flint. Despite the departure of the National Weather Service from Detroit Metro Airport, climate data for DTW 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.
