The 2013 AMS Annual Meeting theme this year is, "Taking Predictions to the Next Level: Expanding Beyond Today's Weather, Water, and Climate Forecasting and Projections”. NOAA scientists and their colleagues in academia and industry will be well-represented in the Town Hall Meetings and as Oral and Poster Presenters throughout the week of January 6 - 10, 2013 in Austin, TX. Although Texas is covered in clouds today, next week should have perfect weather for the conference; not too cold or hot, not too sunny or rainy.
