The North Alabama SKYWARN Net is composed of groups of volunteer radio amateursthat make their services available during severe weather and other civil emergencies.

The primary purpose of this net is to activate when severe weather threatens North Alabama, and engage in the spotting and tracking of dangerous thunderstorms and tornadoes.Our intention is to assist with the coordination of this activity by providing a network that allows intercommunication between local weather nets across North Alabama and the National Weather Service. It is our hope that this coordination effort will result in the general public receiving the earliest possible forewarning of weather emergencies. This communications network is also made available to hams affiliated with their EOC's during declared emergencies.

The North Alabama SKYWARN Net primarily functions with the North Alabama Weather Alert Response Network (NALWARN), to provide information on severe weather for the National Weather Service Office and Emergency Management Agencies.

This net is strictly organizational in nature. It is primarily a coordination effort and in no way imparts any authority, privileges, or responsibility to it's participants.
