NOAA's Aviation Weather Center (AWC) delivers consistent, timely, and accurate weather information for the world airspace system. This team of meteorologists is in charge of tracking and forecasting atmospheric conditions related to air travel. The next time you're flying and the pilot diverts to avoid turbulence to keep your flight smooth, you can thank the data and forecasts from this arm of the National Weather Service. 

This week's guest is Jonathan Leffler, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, NOAA Aviation Weather Center.
