How does WXSpots enhance severe weather communications?
WXSpots provides: – 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. – A messaging feature to allow for communication with other members of your organization (and other connected users). WXSpots is a tool in the tool chest for those interested in severe weather observations. By its very nature of dependence on the Internet, it 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.
