NWS Warning and Forecast Program
Jeff Last is the Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) at the NWS Office in Green Bay. As WCM, Jeff oversees the public forecast and warning programs at the office, and ensures that outside users of our products are satisfied with the services we provide. The WCM is also responsible for planning, coordinating and carrying out the area's public awareness program designed to educate the public to ensure the mitigation of death, injury and property damage caused by severe natural hydrometeorological events.

The WCM also works with severe weather spotters who volunteer their time and energy acting as the "eyes out in the field" for their communities and the National Weather Service. Many of these spotters are amateur radio operators (Jeff's call sign is KC9ESR), local law enforcement personnel, and people who enjoy the ever-changing weather in Wisconsin.
