L0 Skywarn

05/02/2026

Are you a storm spotter or chaser that wants to join a team of weather enthusiasts? Well I have good news because L0 Skywarn is looking for you! We currently have 4 teams ( Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, and the road team). The way we do things is if you don't belong to the three states we have chasers in you go to the road team. We require 3 people to start a new team. Also if you don't want to chase but you'd like to post storm warnings and watches we have someone that does that too. L0 Skywarn isn't just a team we are a family and we want you to join this family. If you're interested shoot us a message and we can get you set up

Hey everyone
This is Jonathan Shumaker Lead commander for L0 Skywarn. I just wanted to pop in and say a couple of things. First off we have some new followers. Thanks for joining us. Next I would like to inform you that we are going to start to go strictly a chasing and spotting page. I have let my teams in Kentucky and Tennessee know that if they would like to post watches and warnings they can, but other that that we will be doing chasing and spotting content. Now to my last thing I want to say. If you are a spotter or chaser or even are interested in it send us a message. We would love to have you. We have 3 teams now, team Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Road team (the rest of the US). The so if you want to join our team for great fellowship and weather love like I said send us a message. Thank you
