The North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee SKYWARN net is a part of SKYWARN,
a voluntary program developed by the National Weather Service to improve the weather warning
program. SKYWARN volunteers serve as storm spotters for the National Weather Service and
local emergency management programs. Keeping their eyes on the sky and their ears
listening, volunteers serve as the eyes and ears for the whole community. North Alabama
SKYWARN volunteers come from all walks of life but they all have generally three things in
common - an interest in the weather, an interest in serving their community, and an
interest in amateur radio.
