From the National Weather Service for the 2026 Bad River Pow Wow:

The National Weather Service is providing Weather Decision Support for the 2026 Bad River Pow Wow.

Weather Decision Support is important because:
“Timely and relevant forecasts, watches and warnings are major strengths of the National Weather Service. The agency’s ability to respond quickly to natural disasters with public statements relevant for the protection of life and livelihoods and the advancement of the Nation’s economy is unparalleled. However, new and evolving needs in society call for the NWS to shift to the impact-based decision support services approach”.

If any impactful weather is forecast or expected to occur, Nathan Kilger will receive a communication from the National Weather Service with detailed information, including forecast confidence and probabilities of different scenarios occurring to prepare the Pow Wow Event and attendees.


Likewise, if any concerns or questions during the Pow Wow pop up, Nathan Kilger will be able to discuss these questions with one of the meteorologists on call and reply back with an answer.

Nathan can be contacted at his personal cell phone (several people have this number) or 406-224-4219 at any time.
