LATE REPORTS:
The primary function a SKYWARN Spotters is to report on-going severe weather to the local National Weather Service (NWS) office. This is usually done through local SKYWARN nets, or by calling the NWS directly. There are times you may come across reportable severe weather events, hours or even days after the severe weather has occurred.
Late reports from the NWSO MLB county warning area may still be used to evaluate the NWS warning service, or be included in "STORM DATA", a report published by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
Late reports of severe weather should contain:
location, i.e...in Melbourne or 4 miles south of Holopaw
severe event, i.e...tornado, large hail, wind damage, flooding (what
to report)
time and date
your name and spotter organization or Email address.
