On Thursday, Aug. 1 at 7 p.m., Robert Molleda will be speaking about hurricane forecasting and warnings at the Palms West Presbyterian Church, sponsored by the Loxahatchee Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). The meeting is free and open to the public.
Molleda has recently been promoted to the meteorologist-in-charge (MIC) at the National Weather Service Miami Forecast Office. In this role, he directs weather warnings and forecast services for the Miami Forecast Office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). He will be speaking about the current year’s hurricane predictions and the latest improvements in forecasting and public communications.
Molleda’s talk will be held in the Sunday school building (the smaller building just north of the main church) at 13689 Okeechobee Blvd. in Loxahatchee Groves.
