New Online Reporting Form

• There is a new on-line reporting form for sending in winter and severe weather reports. The new address link from our web site has changed, and can be found at https://inws.ncep.noaa.gov/report. Please bookmark this new address. This can also be used from your mobile device. 
• Please indicate your spotter number on the last entry page (Review and Send). This will help us identify you as an officially trained spotter.

• The new address can still be found under the drop down menu from current hazards from weather.gov/bou.
