SKYWARN is a nationwide National Weather Service (NWS) program of volunteer
weather spotters who report hazardous weather to local NWS offices. SKYWARN
volunteers are trained by NWS personnel to recognize features associated
with rapidly developing, mature, and dissipating thunderstorms which cause
hazardous weather. SKYWARN spotters also provide reports of heavy snow,
heavy rain, and flooding. These spotters provide ground truth observation on
the atmosphere that the NWS meteorologists use along with information from
radar, satellites, and various reporting stations to provide better forecast
and warnings in their coverage area.
While the SKYWARN program is ideally suited for amateur radio operators, it
is open to anyone over the age of 16 who is keenly interested in weather and
who has a focused interest in helping their community.
When submitting your RSVP please include your name, address, and Spotter
ID/amateur call (if applicable).
You will receive a confirmation via email and will include a map to the
training facility.
