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!
