Activation Nets
Local Severe Weather Net
Local severe weather nets can be called by any trained Skywarn spotter who has completed the Net Control Operator training any time the weather becomes sufficiently severe to warrant an orderly communication of weather-related hazards, injuries or damage. Local Activation does not take the place of calling 911 to report serious injuries or damage that poses a threat to life and limb.
See the Local Severe Weather net criteria page for more information on activating a severe weather net.
Full Skywarn Sector 1 Activation Net
There are between three and six days during the average monsoon season that bring severe regional weather to Southern AZ. These days, when identified warrant the activation of the full Skywarn Net. What makes these days different is their potential for the development of supercell thunderstorms with its implicit dangerous hail and even tornados. Or they can be large regional systems that while not classified as supercells, still bring wide scale severe weather with the hazards, injuries and damage that accompanies them. Luckily, these are wide area events for which we will usually have advanced warning, and for which we can plan with the NWS forecast center. For these events a trained Net Control Operator will, after consultation with the NWS warning desk activate the Full Skywarn Sector 1 net on the EAARS Repeater System.
