The National Weather Service is presenting Weather and Climate on March 21 at 2 p.m. during the 65th Annual 3i SHOW. The seminar is free and will be held in the “Presentation Area” on the concrete side of the Western State Bank Expo Center. The 3i SHOW is scheduled for March 21 to 23 in Dodge City, Kansas.
Jeff Hutton, Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the National Weather Service, will provide a review of 2018 weather and discuss the variability of weather in the High Plains.
