National Weather Service Needs Volunteers

Although March is almost over, there's still time to participate in an effort to increase the number of precipitation observers in our area.

CoCoRaHS is a volunteer network of weather observers of all ages and backgrounds that work together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow) in their local communities. Many people already have rain gauges at their homes, and this gives them a way to contribute and submit their rainfall reports to the NWS.

Each year, during the month of March, the coordinators for each state are challenged to increase the number of CoCoRaHS observers. Sign up today to provide useful precipitation information to your local communities and the National Weather Service in Oklahoma and western north Texas.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested!
