National Weather Museum & Science Center A non-profit 501 c 3 for the purpose of preserving weather artifacts and educating the public on severe weather safety and our changing climate

The National Weather Museum and Science Center highlights the science behind weather. We show the history of weather forecasting and use historical weather instruments to illustrate how technology has changed.

We’ve spent over a decade interacting with visitors who are fascinated with weather. Not only can it teach science but it can teach us to be present.

We created the WxGuide to help with that journey.

You used to look up.

Before the forecasts.
Before the notifications.
Before weather became something you checked instead of something you noticed.

Reading the Sky is a beautifully designed field guide for adults who want to reconnect with the world above them.

Inside, you’ll learn how to notice the clouds, wind, light, pressure, and subtle signals the sky has been giving you your entire life.

Your digital package includes:

✦ Reading the Sky — WxGuide Volume No. 1
✦ A hand-drawn 1954 surface weather map
✦ A digital Certificate of Authenticity
✦ Curated by the National Weather Museum

No complicated science.
No weather degree required.

Just a quieter, more meaningful way to understand the sky—and your place beneath it.

The sky is always telling you something.

For adults who want to notice again. Our WxGuide is a beautifully designed field guide for you.

The digital collection includes a hand annotated print of a surface map from the 1950s. Taken from our archives with a certificate of authenticity, it reminds us of a time before screens and notifications.

Our biggest priority is safety. Since Norman may receive over 8 inches of snow over the next two days, we do not feel that being open is safe for our docents or our visitors. We will be closed on Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25

We will be open for our normal hours next weekend, and we look forward to seeing you!

Thanks to your unbelievable generosity, we have raised over $11,000 dollars over the last 10 days, and this is 84 percent of our goal of $13,200 that would allow us to stay open through Spring

While we are no longer at risk of closing within the next month, it is still critical that we replace the funding source that we unexpectedly lost

We are extremely appreciative of the support that you have given us on such short notice. We are a nonprofit organization that relies almost entirely on private donations throughout the year, so your continued support is extremely important to us
