SKYWARN

OPERATION Team/Ashtabula County SKYWARN

AC SKYWARN Coordinator Jack N8XUA

AC SKYWARN Assistant Coordinator Dan KB3DZY

The OPERATION Team is the primary sponsor for Ashtabula Skywarn, however all Skywarn spotters both Amateur and non-amateur are encouraged to particpate in all Ashtabula County Skywarn Activities. Ashtabula county has its fair share of severe weather every year, and the NWS in Cleveland relies heavily on trained spotters to report what they see on the ground. The OPERATION Team provides the critical communications link to allow spotters to communicate their observations in real time back to the NWS Office in Cleveland. This allows NWS to send out critical warnings in a timely manner.

Thanks to all who attended this years SKYWARN training.

Disclaimer: Storm chasing is serious business! In order to chase safely you must have an understanding of severe weather and it's behavior. Our team members have spent years studying the conditions that produce severe weather and avoid placing themselves in harm's way. Please take time to educate yourself and your loved ones on proper precautions in the event that severe weather strikes your area. The best way to learn to chase responsibly and safely is to find an experienced chaser willing to teach you the ropes. At the very least educate yourself about the science behind severe weather. Learn to recognize the signals the sky will send you. Contact your local NWS office for more information on Skywarn Spotter training. This volunteer effort provides vital information to the local Forecast Office during severe weather events.
