Central Carolina Skywarn

Central Carolina Skywarn Skywarn is a National Weather Service program of trained volunteer severe weather spotters. Spotters and weather enthusiasts are invited to check in.

Central Carolina SKYWARN serves 18 counties in central NC and reports to the National Weather Service in Raleigh NC. SKYWARN™ is a National Weather Service (NWS) program of trained volunteer severe weather spotters. SKYWARN volunteers support their local community and government by providing the NWS with timely and accurate severe weather reports. These reports, when integrated with modern NWS tec

hnology, are used to inform communities of the proper actions to take as severe weather threatens. The key focus of the SKYWARN program is to save lives and property through the use of the observations and reports of trained volunteers. A Memorandum of Understanding between the National Weather Service (NWS) and the American Radio Relay League, Inc. (ARRL) serves as a framework within which volunteers of the ARRL may coordinate their services, facilities, and equipment with NWS in support of nationwide, state, and local early weather warning and emergency communications functions. Central Carolina SKYWARN is the designee of the Raleigh NWS that serves the following 18 counties: Chatham, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Nash, Orange, Person, Sampson, Vance, Wake, Warren, Wayne, and Wilson. Central Carolina SKYWARN operates under the specific direction of the National Weather Service. In addition to severe weather activations, Central Carolina activates for winter weather and tropical cyclones as directed by the NWS. Central Carolina SKYWARN hosts a SKYWARN Information Net every Tuesday evening at 9:15pm on the 146.88 repeater. This net as well as activations can also be heard live by visiting http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?feedId=5620
