Many of our volunteers are also Skywarn Spotters. Skywarn is the National Weather Service (NWS) program of trained volunteer severe weather spotters. Skywarn spotters support their local community and government by providing the NWS with real-time severe weather reports. These reports, when received by meteorologists and integrated with modern NWS technology, can then be used to inform citizens of the proper actions to take as severe weather threatens.
Cuyahoga County Skywarn is responsible for coordinating the Skywarn spotters who are also licensed amateur radio operators. They ensure the timely collection of severe weather reports via two-way radio. They are an independent organization that works for the National Weather Service in Cleveland. Skywarn is not a program of the ARRL, ARES, or ESG nor do they have any club affiliations other than agreements to use club repeaters. Amateur radio Skywarn volunteers need not be a member of the ARRL, ARES, or any club to participate. For more information about Cuyahoga County Skywarn, please visit ccskywarn.org.
