.Local Storm Reports

The National Weather Service in Tucson, Arizona needs to know what's going on in your local area. We need storm reports from the following counties: Pima, Cochise, Graham, Santa Cruz, Pinal and Greenlee.  We'd like as much detail as possible, especially if you've experienced high wind, wind damage, hail, lightning damage, heavy rain, flooding, snow or any other unusual weather phenomena. This information is extremely important and will be used for verification and training purposes so that we may provide more accurate warnings and forecasts in the future. With all of the technology that we now possess, your reliable storm reports still are perhaps our greatest asset.

NOTE TO OFFICIAL NWS WEATHER SPOTTERS: These electronic storm reports may or may not be monitored on a real-time basis. Please continue to call the National Weather Service in Tucson to provide real-time storm reports.
