WXSpots

WXSpots, a new tool in the tool chest for SkyWarn operations and weather 
enthusiasts is now available!
WXSpots is a free, Internet based system designed to quickly disseminate 
observed reports of severe weather.
WXSpots is not intended to replace Amateur Radio.  By it's very nature of 
dependence on the Internet, WXSpots can't provide data from a severely 
affected area. On the other hand, WXSpots can quickly communicate data from 
those observers just outside it. It also provides the means to help monitor 
local severe weather as it unfolds with many more observers able to 
communicate what they are seeing.
WXSpots features include
-  The ability to disseminate observations quickly and efficiently anywhere.
-  The ability to add the eyes of SkyWarn enthusiasts who aren't Amateur 
Radio Operators.
-  An automated, historical record of recent observations.
- The ability to keep tabs on current observations without necessarily being 
near a radio.
To learn more, please visit www.wxspots.com, and be sure to read through the 
FAQ page while you are there!
