Storm reports from the public can be very important! They are used to tell us details about a storm that we may not have observed. Yes, our doppler radar often gives us indications that a storm is severe, but it sometimes cannot tell us what is actually occurring on the ground.

If you witness any of the following severe weather elements during a storm, please submit the following storm report to our office. The phenomenon must occur within our area of responsibility for the report to be of any use to us. Your report goes to the National Weather Service in Mobile, Alabama. Providing this information is voluntary and it is not distributed outside of our office. If you have any questions concerning this form, please contact the NWS Mobile Webmaster.
