OUTCAST -

There is still time for you to send a nomination to the National Weather Service
Office in Seattle to name the December 14 wind storm. The NWS has received
nearly 3,000 entries with most from western Washington but some from as far
away as Ontario Canada. There is a committee of three persons using internal
guidelines to go through the entries. There may be multiple nominations so the
first entry submitted may be the winner. The Seattle office will officially use the
selected name in the record books in regards to the wind storm. The contest has
received National attention and the winner will be invited to the Seattle office
for presentation of an award. Ted Buehner of the NWS says that the committee
is having fun with this process, though the number of nominations has become
overwhelming.  “We were hoping to announce a winner the week of Jan 8, but
the volume of entries may postpone that a bit.” Send your entry by January 4,
2007 to: namethewindstorm@noaa.gov
