SKYWARN reporting criteria:
If you are a trained spotter
watching the sky, here are the specific weather
conditions the National Weather Service would like
to know about:
1. Tornadoes, Funnel Clouds, and Wall Clouds
(remember there must be
rotation).
2. Winds 50 miles per hour or greater (don’t
report anything less unless the NWS specifically
requests it).
3. Any Hail (Please report hail size as pea-size,
dime, nickel, quarter, etc.).
4. Flooding in progress (rapid pooling of water on
roadways, etc).
5. Storm damage (large trees, branches, structural
damage, etc).
6. Weather-related injury or death.
Give your location as accurately as possible, and
please use references such as towns or major
roads.
Please do not report any other conditions unless
specifically requested to do so by the net control
station. After calling in your report, please
remain on frequency for a few minutes in case the
radar operator requests any additional
information.
If you believe you have a reportable weather
condition, but are not sure, report it anyway.
Simply report your suspicions, say you are not
sure, and indicate why you are not sure (reduced
visibility due to heavy rain, poor visibility
because of trees, you’re too far away, etc).
There may be other spotters in the area who can
check out your report, and your suspicions can
also be checked out on radar. There’s nothing
wrong with making an honest mistake.
Please
refrain from reports like "it is raining very
hard on the west end of town" or "it is
getting very windy over here".
