This is one of the services I use:

THE EMERGENCY EMAIL & WIRELESS NETWORK
http://www.EmergencyEmail.org

Weather info is close to real time, some of it in excess for my region, 
accuracy is very good.

As for Skywarn, I get one or two messages a year, although I did receive a 
call when the local radar went down.  From my area I can see as far as 70 
miles on the ground in some directions and a good 150 miles or so sky-wise 
almost 360º, so I was glad to be out in the field providing reports.

In another instance, radar couldn't see through a particularly dense storm 
except in spurts.  Received another call.  They seemed happy I was able to 
give them descriptions they could verify when their radar did work along 
with azimuth and range from their site.  Good times!
