SKYWARN is a concept developed in the early 1970s that was intended to promote a cooperative effort between the National Weather Service and communities. The emphasis of the effort is often focused on the storm spotter, A spotter is an individual that will observe and report cloud formations, hail size, rainfall amounts, wind gusts and report them to the SKYWARN coordinator who then reports the information to the National Weather Service. With this vital information the National Weather Service can help model more accurate weather and maybe even see signals of a developing tornado.

SKYWARN group will receive information from the National Weather Service and relay that information to the local community.
