About the creator

SrA Damani Stewart Johnson

This portal was created to give 56 OSS/OSW weather operators a cleaner, faster place to work with SOPs, regulations, TAF checks, MEF QA, and first-look aviation weather guidance. The goal is simple: reduce friction, keep important tools close, and make operational weather support easier to execute.

Purpose

The site brings together AI-assisted document lookup, aviation forecast tools, MEF quality checks, and shared First Look briefing support in one operations-focused workspace.

Built For Users

Every section is intended to help users move faster without hunting across multiple tools. If something feels confusing, slow, or missing, it should be improved.

Feedback Driven

The portal will keep getting better through real-world use. Suggestions, bug reports, and workflow ideas are welcome through the Contact page.

Wind: `MARGINAL` at 25–34 KT, `HIGH` at 35+ KT.

Visibility: `MARGINAL` at 1–3 SM, `HIGH` below 1 SM.

Clouds: `SCT/FEW/SKC` do not create a ceiling; only supported `BKN/OVC/VV` is evaluated.

Weather: `RA/SHRA/BR/VCTS/HZ` are `MARGINAL`; `TS/FG/FZRA/FZDZ/DS/SS/FC/GR/PL/BLSN/BLDU/BLSA` are `HIGH`.

Source Timestamps

Source timestamps will appear after the first successful refresh.

TAF WKSHT AI Builder

Build one copy-ready AskSage or Gen AI package from the actual Luke TAF, Phoenix AFD, current imagery links, and the strict USAF aviation reasoning format. The tool keeps the prompt format locked and lets the forecaster control the data being briefed.
