Subject: Re: March 8 Severe Weather
This came from Dan Bartholf, National Weather SErvice Newport
I read with interest your Skywarn thoughts. We don't ask anyone to
"go mobile" during severe weather events for as you know the science
is not that good that we can precisely pinpoint where the "bad" storms
are going to be. It's nice to receive reports from people who happen
to be on the road at the time and happen to be near severe weather,
but what I am attempting to do is fill in some of the voids in our
spotter network so that the necessity of going on the road is not
required. I understand in the Plains where the countryside is
sparsely populated the need for mobile spotters. The safety of your
family is of paramount consideration and as you say that "bad" storm
may turn out to be near your home. I try to stress safety in my
training...we don't want you to put yourself in danger.
