What is Skywarn?
The Skywarn spotter program is a nationwide program of volunteers trained by the National Weather Service to recognize and report significant weather. The program is open to anyone that wants to participate. Amateur radio operators have played a big role in the Skywarn spotter program for many years and still does today.
