Beyond the Basics
• Lightning (cloud-to-cloud and
especially cloud-to-ground)
• Wall clouds seen in severe
thunderstorms (which spawn
tornadoes)
• Severe lowering of a wall cloud
• Turbulence in a wall cloud
• Funnel clouds
• Tornadoes
• High water areas
• Downed power lines
• Other emergency conditions that affect
life or property
Listen to NOAA for weather alerts and
warnings, watch box notices, and weather-
forecasts. Listen to Skywarn to hear trained
observers in your vicinity call in offi cial
reports to a net control station which
relays those reports to NOAA and other
emergency agencies.
Note: If you tune to a Skywarn
frequency when the Skywarn net is
not active, you may hear nothing,
or you may hear amateur radio
operators talking on a local repeater
system.
