>Hi Folks -  I have received word from Dee, KA7LOZ that NWS Reno has

>potential heavy rain and thunderstorm activity in western Nevada and 
>the Sierra.  She said that she would be listening on the 146.610 
>repeater starting at aprox. 1230 - 1300 hours today.  The duration 
>of the activation is unknown at this time.

> this afternoon, please have them call for WX7RNO with reports if 
> severe weather becomes an issue. This is especially important for 
> those who are official weather spotters.  For those out of the 
> area, I will monitor IRLP node 9258 (available also through NV-gate 
> Echolink # 152566 and will be able to relay to WX7RNO.
>    The system bringing this potential situation  seems to be moving 
> northeast from the Mammoth area and Douglas County region at
