SKYWARN
SKYWARN is a National Weather Service (NWS) volunteer program where trained citizens act as "eyes and ears" on the ground, providing crucial, real-time, "ground-truth" information on hazardous weather events to local NWS offices. Spotters report phenomena like hail, tornadoes, and flooding, which, combined with radar and satellite data, help meteorologists issue more timely and accurate warnings to save lives and property. Pass along your severe weather reports during our SKYWARN nets on the K3CAL Linked Repeater System.
