[DCART] Weather Bulletin

[Dick Flanagan]

   THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SEEN THROUGH MUCH OF WESTERN NEVADA ON
FRIDAY EVENING MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
THE TIMING OF THIS POTENTIAL STORM IS UNCLEAR, BUT BASED ON THE CLOUD COVER,
SO IT COULD COME EARLIER OR AT AROUND THE SAME TIME.  THE STORM WOULD COVER
THE AREAS OF DOUGLAS, LYON, STOREY, CHURCHILL, CARSON AND WASHOE COUNTIES,
AS WELL AS EASTERN CALIFORNIA.  THE ACTIVITY COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAIN, LIGHTNING AND STRONG WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH.

   IN THE EVENT THAT THIS STORM DOES MATERIALIZE, WEATHER SPOTTERS ARE
ENCOURAGED TO RESPOND WITH REAL TIME REPORTS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
AMATEUR RADIO STATION, WX7RNO, WHICH WOULD BE ACTIVATED AT THAT TIME.

    PLEASE REMEMBER THAT DURING LIGHTNING STORMS: STAY INSIDE, STAY AWAY FROM
WINDOWS AND DO NOT DRIVE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, AS THE POTENTIAL FOR ROAD
FLOODING IS ALSO VERY REAL.

    YOUR AMATEUR RADIO PARTICIPATION IN THE SKYWARN WEATHER SPOTTER PROGRAM
IS DEEPLY APPRECIATED.
