Share Your Weather Photos

Share Your Photos- The National Weather Service is updating their print publications and moving them online.  Also, here at the NWS in Omaha/Valley, we will pick a few of the photos to feature on our office wall and use them in our weather stories.  Original, unedited source images and videos of all aspects of severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, look-alikes, sunrises, snow, fall, fog, etc. are needed.  High quality/high resolution images are the best – 300 dpi or greater.

E-mail photos with the information below to:  nws.omaha@noaa.gov

PLEASE PROVIDE: A short image title (may be similar to the categories listed below), description (optional), date taken (if known), time taken (if known), who took the photo/credit, Yes/No – is photo credit required with each use?

- Every stage of the Cumulonimbus cloud growth/decay, both nearby and distant views.
- Views underneath Cumulonimbus; wall clouds, shelf clouds, scud clouds, rain shafts, hails  shafts, etc.
- Every stage (and shape) of a tornado’s life cycle from funnel cloud to dissipating rope stage.
- False tornados; anything that looks like a tornado but isn’t (or never was).
