Hi everyone,

Spring finally has arrived and with it, the ALERT Callouts of active weather.

I want to thank the operators who have responded to the callouts and for the long hours you have put in at K4NWS. We are receiving good quality reports both from the Weather Chats and from our RF operations. And, the NWS & ALERT appreciate your efforts.

Always remember, that the reports you gather for the NWS do make a difference. Your efforts and the reports you receive for the NWS help in the raising the situational awareness level and help in the decision making processes leading to the warnings by which lives are being saved.

You may never know whose life you have saved or whose families that will still be whole because you provided that one key piece of information that tilted the scale & resulted in the warning that saved

that family. But, YOU were part of the reason they are still here. A fact for which you should never forget.
