National Weather Service (SKYWARN)
SKYWARN® storm spotters are an important group of volunteers that report severe weather, winter weather and damage caused by weather to the National Weather Service. These reports aid the National Weather Service in accomplishing its mission of “protection of life and property” by providing forecasters essential information of what is actually going on at ground level. SKYWARN® spotters receive training from the National Weather Service which teaches weather safety, storm structure, and reportable criteria.
