VIRGINIA SKYWARN | |
| Skywarn is a National
Weather Service program, involving amateur radio
operators (among others), who are trained to report
severe weather back to the NWS. Sometimes this occurs as
part of an area net, and sometimes the amateur calls the
NWS directly with his/her Skywarn Spotter Number and the
severe weather report. Skywarn should be an integral part
of your emergency communications & preparedness
program. The Virginia Section is serviced by five National Weather Service offices: Blacksburg, Sterling, and Wakefield, VA, as well as Charleston, WV, and Morristown, TN. Each of these offices manages a Skywarn program for their forecast area. You are encouraged to join and participate in Skywarn. |
