The weather never stops.

White Squirrel Weather is an applied research and service-learning initiative at Western Kentucky University. Student forecasters, storm spotters, emergency-management operators, developers and science communicators provide real-time observations and forecasts to the WKU campus and community for hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness and decision support.

Our mission is to elevate the university and our community partners with innovative, pertinent weather information by working closely with decision-makers — merging professional practice with student engagement.
