NHC has five twitter accounts. Information on tropical cyclones affecting the Central Pacific is available on Twitter from the Honolulu Weather Forecast Office. </p> <p>Embedded Twitter feeds are currently unavailable. Please use the provided links to view NHC's Twitter accounts.</p> <p> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Interactive Outreach (@NWSNHC) </span> </p> <p> The broadest in scope of NHC's Twitter accounts, @NWSNHC is our primary mechanism for engaging the public and our partners in two-way conversations. Tweets will be composed by NHC managers, the Warning and Coordination Meteorologist, the Public Affairs Officer, and other non-operational staff. This account will cover general topics such as education and outreach, NWS products and policies concerning tropical cyclones, significant events, or just fun facts – from across all of the branches that comprise NHC. Whenever possible, we'll try to respond to your questions and comments. Occassionally, NHC may post live video from our twitter feeds on this account.</p> <!-- <div style="width:450px; float:left; margin-left:80px"> <a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt="true" width="350" height="350" href="https://twitter.com/nwsnhc" data-widget-id="607982279164600320">Tweets by @NWSNHC</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script> </div> --> <a href="/nhcexit.php?outurl=http://twitter.com/nwsnhc">@NWSNHC</a> <p style="clear:both;"> </p> <p> <span style="font-weight:bold;"> Hurricane Specialist Unit Operations (@NHC_Atlantic and @NHC_Pacific) </span> </p> <p> These two accounts are the primary outlets for real-time, operational information or announcements regarding active tropical cyclones and disturbances, for our two basins of responsibility.
