SKYWARN

What is SKYWARN?
 

SKYWARN LOGO
"SKYWARN" is a program the NWS uses to improve severe storm warnings. Trained volunteers serve as storm spotters...passing on vital "ground truth" information to forecasters during severe weather episodes. They are the eyes and ears not only for forecasters, but for their whole community.

SKYWARN volunteers come from all walks of life but they all have generally two things in common...an interest in the weather, and an interest in serving their community. Organizations frequently involved in the effort include...
  • Emergency management
  • Law enforcement
  • Fire departments or rescue squads
  • Amateur radio groups


HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Any person or organization can become SKYWARN spotters, but must first receive training from the National Weather Service. Spotter training classes are offered periodically.
