MISSION

To provide reliable and prompt delivery of vital ground truth from SKYWARN^® storm spotters to the National Weather Service, in accordance with severe criteria and in support of its mission to protect lives and property during severe weather. To generate an interest in—and understanding of—weather phenomena; and to promote NWS SKYWARN^® training and participation within an all-inclusive environment. To ensure that amateur radio plays a vital and strategic role within the SKYWARN^® program.

We Answer to the NWS, Exclusively

The CSWN aggregates SKYWARN^® reports and photos from the field via a variety of platforms and immediately relays them to the appropriate NWS Warnings Forecast Office (WFO). Direct dialog between the NWS and CSWN Net Control promotes the immediate addressing of specific NWS needs, and earlier warnings information to storm spotters.
