Meet the Global Edmonton Ground Force, an elite team of extreme weather spotters strategically selected to represent the weather hot spots throughout the province of Alberta. With professional training provided by Global Edmonton’s Chief Meteorologist Nicola Crosbie, and Environment Canada’s severe weather experts, the Ground Force has been equipped with digital cameras to capture and record weather phenomena in their regions. They regularly relay weather conditions to the Global Edmonton Weather Centre and will be called upon in extreme weather to give an accurate report of what is happening in their region. Exclusively on Global Edmonton, the Ground Force was created by Nicola Crosbie, to elevate our accuracy in “Nowcasting” (the forecasting of weather within the next six hours) and helps to build better forecasts for Albertans. Watch for the Ground Force – your eyes and ears on the ground – seven days a week only on Global Edmonton!
