Weather alerts are now available via @TuftsReady on Twitter and TuftsReady on Facebook on an experimental basis. If the National Weather Service issues a severe weather WATCH or WARNING affecting the Boston, Grafton or Medford/Somerville campuses, a brief message will be posted on the TuftsReady feeds. Please don’t rely on this as your only source of potentially life-saving severe weather information. You should continue to utilize radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for information during storms.
