National Weather Service Forecast

We have added a link to the National Weather Service as a convenience.  Click here to get a current forecast.

   Northwood Plainwell Weather Policy states:

All games and practices will be postponed when a Tornado Watch/Warning or Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are in effect for our area during a scheduled game or practice.

When lightning is observed or thunder is heard, the game/practice must be suspended. Players must stay off the field for 15 minutes. If during that time no additional lightning is seen or thunder is heard, play may resume. If within the first 15 minutes additional lightning is seen or thunder is heard; players must remain off of the field for a additional 30 minutes. Players can return to the playing field if lightning has been absent from the local sky and thunder has not been heard for 30 minutes.

The occurrence of lightning or thunder is not subject to interpretation or discussion- lightning is lightning and thunder is thunder.

Inter-league games scheduled at non-NPLL fields will follow the weather policies of the host site.

Technology is just amazing! Have you ever wanted to take a virtual tour of the neighborhood, see the locations of schools, shopping and transportation, identify the tax district, and get crime statistics? Well, the technology is out there from a company called Keyhole which is owned by Google.

With an Internet connection, users enter an address or other location information and Keyhole's software accesses the database and takes them to a digital image of that location on their computer screen. The interactive software then gives users many options, including the ability to zoom in from space-level to street-level, tilt and rotate the view or search for other information such as hotels, parks, ATMs or subways. Unlike traditional mapping technologies, Keyhole creates a dynamic 3D interface for geographic information.

We have added a satellite view of your playing fields to our site and District 2 has images of some of the other leagues on its site. Click here to visit the District 2 site.
