Fred Gossage Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 https://www.tnvalleyweather.com/post/here-s-how-you-can-help-the-tennessee-valley-weather-team Hey guys! Our weather operation is looking to build a team of volunteer community weather watchers across southern middle Tennessee, northern Alabama, and northeast Mississippi to assist in our weather coverage and help us gather reports and information for local NWS offices, local EMA, and other local media outlets (yes, despite us being local media on the digital side, we play nice with the TV folks and consider them friends and partners instead of direct competition). If you live in the area outlined on the map in the post linked above and you have a strong interest in weather, are SKYWARN spotter trained and/or have weather instrumentation that can report daily highs, lows, and precipitation, you may be a good fit for our group! The post linked above contains more information on what we're trying to do and how you can contact me if you may be interested. We already have 24 members signed on, after just recruiting for a couple of days, and we are looking to build a large team across the area. Thanks so much for your help! ABOUT TENNESSEE VALLEY WEATHER: Born from the legacies of WLX Radio / Radio 7 Media and the long-running digital weather operation Shoals Weather, Tennessee Valley Weather has been operational since April 2020 as a 24/7 all local digital weather channel and social media operation covering southern middle Tennessee, north Alabama, and northeast Mississippi. The Tennessee Valley Weather Channel is equipped with a LIVE dual polarimetric X-Band Doppler Radar located in Lawrenceburg, TN (and in the works to deploy a more powerful, farther reaching, dual polarimetric Baron radar to cover ALL of southern middle Tennessee, northwest Alabama, and northeast Mississippi... with real-time data from the current radar and the planned future radar being sent to local NWS offices and EMA offices to assist in real-time warning operations and EM operations), the Baron Lynx/VIPIR storm tracking and graphics display system, the largest LIVE high definition PTZ skycam network in the Tennessee Valley, and the largest weather team in the Tennessee Valley... with five full-time team members and one part-time tropical, severe convective, and long-range weather analyst. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
