A hashtag is added to make a tweet searchable in a specific category. For example, in this instance the hashtag is < #wxreport >. When a hashtag is used, each tweet that has the #wxreport hashtag will be found when NWS forecasters search for storm reports. Without this hashtag, it will not be found by the NWS forecasters.
