What is a Storm Spotter?
The Skywarn  spotter program is a nationwide network 
of volunteers trained by the National Weather Service (NWS)
 to report significant weather. Anyone is welcome to participate. 
Why Skywarn ?
The NWS's mission is to protect lives and property.
 When weather conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms
 or tornadoes are expected to develop, a severe thunderstorm or
 tornado WATCH is issued. A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado
 WARNING is issued when severe weather has been reported by
 a Skywarn  spotter or indicated by Doppler radar. Skywarn 
 volunteers become the NWS's eyes and ears, helping to provide
 better weather watch and warning services.
