SKYWARN & weather nets for this office
Suggest or fix one →No net is listed for NWS Fort Worth yet. If you know the repeater and who runs it, suggest it - the state coordinator checks it and it shows up here and on the state hub. Never guess a frequency from memory; a wrong one during a warning is worse than none.

- ·Wall cloud, especially a rotating one
- ·Where it is relative to you, and which way it's moving
🧊 Hail
- ·The largest stone, compared to a coin or ball (chart below)

- ·Ordinary dark clouds, scud, or clouds that only look scary
- 1 · The net, if one is up
When the office activates SKYWARN, a net control on the local repeater takes reports in a set format and relays them straight to the forecaster. Listen first, check in when asked, keep it short: who, what, where, when.
- 2 · The office directly
No net running? Every office has a spotter line or online report form on its SKYWARN page - for you that’s NWS Fort Worth. Trained spotters get the number in class; anyone can use the form.
- 3 · Tell the room here
/report hail quarter · 71st & Memorial in #tx-wx puts it in front of everyone watching the state. It does not reach the NWS - do 1 or 2 for that.
