Severe weather can strike during any month of the year at any time of the day or night. When severe thunderstorms threaten…the National Weather Service calls sky warn volunteers into action.
Sky warn volunteers are the eyes and ears of the National Weather Service…providing instant reports of severe weather…including hail…high winds…and dangerous cloud formations.
Sky warn spotters keep a close eye on the sky anytime severe thunderstorms approach. Many communities deploy spotters around the edge of the city and use their early reports of impending hazardous weather to warn the community. Some spotters relay reports from their home or business while other more adventurous volunteers Brave the elements and try to get as close to the storm as possible.
Who are these sky warn volunteers? A large number of sky warn storm spotters in the mid south are amateur radio operators…or hams. These public-service minded individuals make ideal storm spotters…since they have the ability to communicate their reports.
They are willing to be trained and they have a real interest in helping the National Weather Service…and their local communities prepare for severe weather. Amateur radio operators are on call 24 hours a day…365 days a year…even though they receive no compensation of any kind for their hard work.
Many other groups participate in the sky warn program…including law enforcement agencies…fire departments…utility companies…Rescue squads…and the news media. In some areas…individual citizens are trained as spotters…and are asked to relay their reports to the National Weather Service. Spotters are a vital link in the warning process…and it is important to have as many trained spotters in each County as possible.
