Chris and John will introduce the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS), and explain how to take measurements of precipitation and snow. They will also provide SKYWARN Storm Spotter training, which includes detailed discussions of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other hazardous weather, and of how volunteer storm spotters can provide crucial information to the National Weather Service.
