AWIS was born in Dec. 1987 when the NWS Service Center in
Auburn, AL began providing weather information through a dial-up
computer service. The service quickly expanded, feeding
forecasts and data to the Alabama Cooperative Extension
Service's statewide computer network. AWIS moved onto the
Internet in the spring of 1993. It was an immediate hit! Other
Web servers, industry, and individuals around the world linked
to AWIS site for its unique content. In 1996, AWIS privatized
and became AWIS Weather Services, Inc. Our meteorologists,
climatologists and computer specialists deliver weather, past
and future, accurately and efficiently.
