“SKYWARN observers are volunteers who serve as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the National Weather Service,” said a Facebook post from the National Weather Service in Charleston. “They serve their community by acting as a valuable source of information during hazardous weather.”
West Virginia has experienced numerous severe weather events this year, including a record 19 tornadoes, flooding and the current drought.
