Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network Recruiting Volunteers

Sunday, March 15th, 2020 -- 6:53 AM

The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, or CoCoRaHS, is recruiting volunteer weather observers to help the National Weather Service determine the impact and severity of each storm.

Coordinators say there are over 500 volunteers across Wisconsin who report precipitation online to ensure measurements of snow, rain and hail are available in all areas of the state. Anyone can participate as a weather spotter as long as they attend an online training session to learn the proper methods of measuring snow, rain and hail. The data these volunteers provide help shape forecasts of river stages and flood levels on local rivers and can help inform National Weather Service thunderstorm or flash flood warnings.

More details can be provided by calling the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension at 920-391-4652. (Wisconsin Ag Connection)
