[2015 May 04] HEMS Tool Now Available
Effective May 4, 2015, 1800 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the NWS Aviation Weather Center (AWC) in Kansas City, MO, will make the Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) Tool operationally available on the Aviation Weather Center website: http://www.aviationweather.gov/hemst
The HEMS Tool interactively displays high resolution grids of critical weather parameters: ceiling, visibility, flight category, winds, icing severity, relative humidity, temperature, radar, satellite, G-AIRMETs, SIGMETs, METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, NWS warnings, and Center Weather Advisories (CWAs). Overlays include navigational aids, airports and heliports for the entire United States. More detail is revealed as you zoom in and individual layers can be turned on or off independently. The tool is not a weather product; it is a display that aggregates a number of existing weather products into a single, quick-glance, automated graphic.
It can be found under the TOOLS menu.
