This Facebook page is a NWS service, extending the reach of NWS information. But for the most current information, visit:
NWS is using Facebook as a supplemental channel to disseminate environmental information and promote weather awareness activities including outreach and educational efforts.
Please note that posts on Facebook may not reflect the most up to date information. For all the latest and most recent information, please visit the following:

Fans should not rely on this service as the primary means of receiving alerts/warnings of hazardous weather. NWS alerts/warnings are available on NOAA Weather Radio and our official website: http://www.weather.gov/
Responses to fan posts are made on a time-available basis and may be extremely limited during periods of severe weather.
If that be the case, you will see the following statement, "We are currently conducting severe weather operations at the Taunton NWS Weather Forecast Office and will not be able to respond to individual questions at this time, though we will be monitoring posts. Thus, we would greatly appreciate any storm reports that you could pass along to us (including your location, the time of the event, and type of weather observed). Thank you!"
