ALT social media tips: Show You Care, Beware the Share! If the weather image in your Facebook or Twitter feed didn't come from a known, reliable source, please think twice before sharing it! Anyone with a computer can make detailed graphics and maps, and some post outrageous forecasts just to get attention! Know Your Source! Find a good reliable source of weather information - someone with a name from an organization you know and trust. Consider sharing their forecasts and information, and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should! What you post and share is your choice, but keep in mind that computer model graphics of possible extreme events many days away can cause a lot of confusion. Most people don't understand the difference between these and actual forecasts.
