WeatherReadyFest is a yearly public event about weather and disaster safety. It is hosted by the National Weather Association during its annual meeting. The festival offers hands-on activities and exhibits about atmospheric science. Emergency services and local broadcasters bring large vehicles to display. Celebrity meteorologists have appeared, including Nick Walker and Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel, Ginger Zee from Good Morning America, and James Spann.
