The National Weather Service relies on trained volunteers to supplement doppler radar information when flooding, severe storms, and tornadoes threaten. These dedicated individuals volunteer their time to learn about and identify severe weather. Their valuable reports are an important part of the warning process. Weather reports from trained spotters are used along with doppler radar data to issue warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods.
