CoCoRaHS Volunteers Needed!

SKYWARN Spotter Training Schedule

5PM 4/8 - Another mild and breezy day is expected Thursday across the area with temperatures in the 60s to 70s. Widely scattered showers will develop in the afternoon and evening hours. These may produce locally gusty winds and a few rumbles of thunder. Winds will shift ot the north or northeast Thursday evening behind another cool front.

April 8th, 5am - Here’s a look at the upcoming forecast for the rest of the week into the weekend. Isolated precipitation chances today and Thursday, though accumulation is expected to be very low. Better chances for precipitation accumulation on Friday through the weekend. Strong storms may be possible across western Nebraska on Saturday.

5PM 4/6 - We are looking for new volunteers to join CoCoRaHS and share daily precipitation reports with us! This takes just a few minutes of your time each morning, but provides extremely valuable information to us here at the National Weather Service. Sign up today at https://www.cocorahs.org/application.aspx All are welcome to join! We have a few areas where additional precipitation reports would be especially useful: - All rural areas - Rawlins & Carbon County - Lusk - Torrington - Kimball - Bridgeport April is Rain Gauge Rally month this year, which is a national competition to recruit the most new observers to join the CoCoRaHS program. Wyoming won the CoCoRaHS cup in 2025, so you can help Wyoming hold onto the award for another year, or for Nebraska residents, help Nebraska steal it!
