My Weather Forecast Office has/I have a New Yahoo Messenger/AT&T Yahoo Messenger screen name and AT&T Yahoo E-mail
address
I have decided after or around the time of creating two AT&T sub accounts (one suspended, one
active) to switch to using the new e-mail address stwfo1@sbcglobal.net. This is so I can get premium AT&T Yahoo Services for
whichever e-mail is my weather forecast office e-mail. Despite Yahoo screen name rwssgf and e-mail address rwssgf@yahoo.com
I may be using for backup use, the new and primary weather forecast office screen name and e-mail address I am planning on
using maybe about the same services, possibly more than I was using the previous only/primary e-mail address and scree name
for.

has an Electronic Professtional Weather Station. Due to this, the Storm Tracker Weather Forecast Office in Springfield, MO

sources for local weather conditions/the latest local weather observations including temperature, dew point, relative humidity,
wind speed, wind direction, wind gust, certain rainfall measurements, and barometric pressure. Unfortunately, the weather
forecast office is currently unable to automatically transmit this data onto the internet, however sometime in the future
the Storm Tracker Weather Forecast Office may change that.
