JBLE weather warriors: The first line of defense against nature’s wrath
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Daniel McGonigle, 1st Operations Support Squadron weather flight forecaster, studies a radar model at the flight’s operations center at Langley Air Force Base, Va., May 14, 2013. The weather flight constantly monitors tropical weather systems that could potentially impact the area, giving installation leadership timely situational awareness to implement flood and wind damage mitigation efforts. Tracking tropical weather is especially important at Langley, which is prone to flooding due to its low elevation and position amongst tidal marshes. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jason J.
