The National Weather Service depends on accurate reporting of severe weather in its mission to protect lives and property. We would like to hear of any significant weather phenomena that you observe, though we are particularly interested in receiving timely reports of tornadoes, one inch (quarter-sized) and larger hail, wind gusts of 58 mph or more, and flash flooding.
For life-threatening and imminent severe weather threats, please contact local law enforcement immediately (even if you also contact us by social media or email) and ask that they relay your report to the National Weather Service
Email: boise.weather@noaa.gov - A great way to include pictures & video.

When posting weather reports to social media, it is helpful to include the hashtag #IDWX for Idaho reports or #ORWX for Oregon reports.
When timeliness is not an issue, you may send weather reports and photos to our webmaster at boise.weather@noaa.gov.
