Key takeaways

Prep first

Weather pattern plus deadlines tells you how busy you'll be.

Know your deadlines

They depend on the type of company and customer.

Read the notes

Start with the previous shift, especially on your Monday.

Assess for your job

Fronts, fog, precipitation and temperatures.

Avoid the common fails

Don't chase "cool weather" or stop at QPF.
