We are grateful for the Amateur Radio Clubs that partner/support our Amateur Radio team in SKYWARN. On Sunday 6/22/25, approximately 20 Amateurs attended SKYWARN Training at their club house facilities which has a strong Amateur Radio station setup. #mawx #riwx #ctwx

Rip the skywarn sticker off your car. It's over for you.

Whoever runs that account seems, based on the antenna comment including a detail about being a HAM radio roperator, to be just a random HAM enthusiast who maybe did an NWS Skywarn class or something. I would be shocked if an actual NOAA employee told someone to get a HAM antenna for a weather radio.

Eine lupenreine Superzelle ist gerade durch die Süoststeiermark und das Südburgenland gezogen. Sie ist in Windrichtung nach rechts ausgeschert und konnte damit viel "gewitter-relativen" Wind aufnehmen.
Ergebnis: Stärkere Aufwinde und mehr als 4cm großen Hagel.

I am in Woodbridge (PW County) and scanning the ominous sky. Didn’t have tornado watcher on my bingo card today. But I am a certified NWS Skywarn severe storm spotter FWIW.

Want to be a volunteer storm spotter for the National Weather Service?
Skywarn volunteers receive training in severe storm identification and safety. When severe weather threatens, they call in reports and observations.

My spouse is from Crystal - the expression on his face while watching was "Where is the nearest fallout shelter?" and that daft man was a Skywarn volunteer.

Just got an email from the local SKYWARN (amateur weather spotters) network that Jim Cantore has been spotted in the metro Boston area. So, basically, we’re fucked.

This will make volunteer groups like Skywarn even more important, although how they will convey their information to the public will be in question, as Skywarn relays to NWS today.

I need @stormchasernick.bsky.social to create an image of Owlie Skywarn policing bad meteorologist behavior.

Especially if they didn’t also tell them to get a license. And even if they DID do Skywarn, a good Skywarn-trained ham would say to get a hand-crank weather radio AND make sure text alerts are active! (Source: my Skywarn and ARES net operator ham father.)

The alt-fed accounts are dangerous.
