Hi Ethan.

Good question. We haven't used a website specifically for this, but we
have the Skywarn Spotters Mailing List (eMail) and the daily Hazardous
Weather Outlook product from NWS BOX, which provide similar capability.

You can sign up for the Skywarn Mailing List at any Skywarn Training
session -- or eMail Rob KD1CY at ARRL.NET with your callsign, spotter #,
and email address requesting to be added.

HWO --
 http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/box/fcsts/BOSHWOBOX.html and other sources
AFD -- even more weather geeky, but sometimes mentions Skywarn
 http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/box/fcsts/BOSAFDBOX.html and other source

Degree of activity varies with the event and support requested.  Today,
both 145.23 and 145.47 were active at one point, but not continually; I
don't know about Scituate, but it's normally not a primary, but is a
part-time member of a linked system used for relay to Western Mass and
CT.  Boston and Walpole are your nearest repeaters for south shore,
unless we activate either the NEN (145.39) or MMRA (146.67) linked
systems.
