Weather Spotting
Recently, we received training in NWS's Skywarn program.
Skywarn spotters are tasked with reporting various kinds of hazardous weather to the National Weather Service.
In case we do encounter any hazardous weather, we carry the following :
- Anemometer (Wind & Temp) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CWLNGQ1/
- Caliper (Hail) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B49JHLX/
- Spotter's Reference Guide - Spotter Reference Guide 2024.pdf
- Notepad and Pen
We also have a weather monitor with an external sensor - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CJJKWRFC/
The sensor is mounted inside of the front bumper and measures Temperature, Humidity and Barometric Pressure. Temperature can be touchy since it is detecting it from the car and the road. While in motion, it is fairly accurate.
