[Gregory Waller] The National Weather Service mission--
issue forecast, observations, warning products
so that the public can make the decisions to save lives
and save property.
Accurate data going into the decision-making process
is critical.
And so, accurate Texas Mesonet data helps us
with forecasting river heights,
forecasting rainfall,
anticipating flash flooding based on heavy rain events.
So it's just integral to the entire process,
in the warning decision making process.
