What is SKYWARN?

SKYWARN is a nationwide network of volunteer weather spotters who report hazardous weather to local National Weather Service (NWS) offices. Amateur radio operators and weather observers, generally operating through local organizations, are ideally equipped to contribute to the SKYWARN program.

SKYWARN Volunteers are trained by NWS personnel to recognize features associated with rapidly developing, mature, and dissipating thunderstorms which cause hazardous weather. SKYWARN spotters also provide reports of heavy snow, heavy rain and flooding.

SKYWARN Spotters provide ground truth on the atmosphere that we observe from radar, satellites and various reporting stations. They are our eyes and ears, helping to provide better forecasts and warnings to the Tri-State Region.

The Peconic Amateur Radio Club is a proud contributor to the Tri-State SKYWARN program of the National Weather Service in Upton NY. PARC and Southold Town ARES have both been recognized by the NWS Upton office as SkywarnPrepared organizations, honoring their continuing contributions to the program.
