We are a volunteer group that works with the National Weather Service Forecast office in Taunton Massachusetts.

There are three goals for SKYWARN

1) Gather first hand reports of weather events which meet or exceed severe thresholds (as defined by the NWS) and pass them on to the local Forecast office in a timely manner.

 2) Disseminate severe weather information to spotters in the field so they may better prepare themselves, their families, and/or their organizations.

3) Provide timely severe weather information to local, county and state officials as needed.
