#Skywarn

Skywarn is a program of the National Weather Service (NWS). Its mission is to collect reports of localized severe weather in the United States. These reports are used to aid forecasters in issuing and verifying severe weather watches and warnings and to improve the forecasting and warning processes and the tools used to collect meteorological data. Reports are also used by local emergency managers and public safety organizations.

During the #wx storm yesterday there was a #nationalweatherservice request for #SKYWARN activation. I heard the net and I am glad that #HamRadio operators participated!
A worthwhile station to contact on HF over the next two weeks for Amateur Radio Operators across the country. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #SKYWARN #amateurradio #hamradio
